With a grilled barramundi for me and an roasted grouper for Jill, we had a 2002 Niellon Chassagne Montrachet Clos de la Maltroie. I think very few winemakers can get minerality and earth out of their Chassagne and Michel Niellon is one of them. The bottle looked a bit tired a first but opened up considerably after a few minutes. Smells of white flowers, excellent body and went really well with the fish, especially the grouper.
With some steaks and salmon at my cousin's house we drank the 1999 Pavie Macquin. Two bottles were opened - identical in provenance and tasted liked two completely different wines; one was tight and fruitless, the other fruity, oily, with smooth tannins. Very strange.
We also opened a bottle of the 2001 Tollot-Beau Corton Bressandes and this was delicious. Bright and aromatic, with lovely fruits and very good structure, went well with both the fish and the steak.
Yesterday; byo night at the Kittle House, we brought my last bottle of 1978 Palmer. Boy, is this one of the most amazingly aromatic Bordeaux I've ever had? It does not disappoint on the palate either, still quite firm and could last for another decade but is so good now.
