Another great wine dinner with Bernard Burtschy (Taberna del Alabardero, Washington D.C.): Fully mature nose displaying subtle delicate yellow fruit, clementine, a hint of pineapple, apricot, honey, light caramel, sweet spices and limestone. Very precise and elegant palate, good balance and harmony, medium acidity and mineral, and a long sweet yellow fruit driven finish. This lighter style of Rieussec is drinking beautifully.

In Vino Veritas (in wine there is truth; people speak the truth when they are drunk), bottle #89, 90, 91, 92 and 93 of my cellar sacrifices. Had a great dinner the other night with some friends out on the deck. It was a beautiful 70° and sunny and the wine was flowing. We started with two champagnes; a NV Gallimard Pere & Fils, and a vintage 2012 Paul Roger brut rosé. A friend brought the 2009 Glorioso Rioja Reserva and we had a 2012 Domaine Bois De Boursan CDP and a 2014 Old Ghost Zin from Klinker Brick with the meal. We had an outstanding cake desert brought by one of my daughter’s friends and a 1981 Chateau Rieussec Sauternes to accompany it. Needless to say, all the attendees were quite blasted by the end, but we enjoyed some really good wine! Looking forward to getting back to “normal”. 😀🍷🍷🍷👍👍👍 #wine #winelover #winelovers #champagne #zinfandel #sauternes #polroger #rieussec #cdp

From an underrated vintage, but drinking beautifully out of a half bottle.
