Dinner at a private dining facility.
2007 Leeuwin Estate Art Series Chardonnay - pretty toasty with slightly high acidity on the palate.
2008 Galardi Terra di Lavoro Roccamonfina - smoky, minty, and later on coffee notes.
Agrapart Terroirs,
mis en bouteille Mai 2012, dégorgée en Aout 2015 - an extra brut
blanc de blancs that was very easy to drink. Well-balanced acidity with a nice mousse. Oaky and a little pungent.
Agrapart Complantée, mis en bouteille Mai 2012, dégorgée en Aout 2015 - richer, deeper flavors, with a longer finish, and a little more acidity.
2007 Rene Rostaing Côte-Rôtie La Landonne - floral with violet notes, fruity, sweet, a little ripe. A beautiful wine drinking well right now.
1982 Cos d'Estournel - decanted for about 2 hours, which was definitely too long. Very smooth and smoky, but lost a little of the fruit.
