Bongwater Friday

Dinner at Neighborhood.

2014 Guiberteau Saumur Brézé - huge nose of toasty oak.  Very ripe on the palate, but still got plenty of acidity and very vibrant on the palate.

2016 Esporão Alentejo Reserva - big, flinty nose with some ripeness on the palate.

2016 Cos Nero di Lupo - minty, eucalyptus, fruity, dried herbs, and a bit leather on the nose.

Full post on dinner is here.

1975 La Fleur-Petrus

Dinner at a friend's home.

1975 La Fleur-Petrus - the nose was a bit cooked, with stewed prunes, but in general it was pretty good.

1999(?) Santa Anastasia Passomaggio - good fruit concentration and power. A great drinking wine. Yummy and cheap.
