Chinese New Year

The Comte Senard Corton Clos de Meix 1996 was drinking well, as it should unless it is too cold. My last bottle of  La Dominique 2000 ended on a high note – if a little soft. The Vriesenhof Pinot Noir 2003 was a touch sour but the Bouchard Finlayson Blanc de Mer 2008 benefitted from a few more weeks rest and was drinking nicely. The Kanonkop Cabernet Sauvignon 2003 was excellent with expressive floral notes in the mid-palate. Pleasant surprise of the week was a bottle of Robert Mondavi Woodbridge Twin Oaks Chardonnay 2006 – cheap, good and plentiful.
