Closel Savennieres Cuve Speciale – I had been concerned about premature oxidation on some of these long lived wines, and the colour of this one gave me pause, being light yellow, but there was no sign of maderisation in this one. Lots of nuttiness (almonds?) and mature fruit, an interesting wine with a vey long finish, still carrying amazing acidity, although the impression of slight RS I had when this was released is now gone and it finishes quite dry.
2000 Ch. de Beaucastel – I continue to be surprised (slow learner?) at how approachable these wines have now become, relatively early in their life, compared to the older vintages. Dark wine with a ripe truffley nose, sweet entry, then smooth slightly tannic midpalate, followed by a long smooth drawn out finish. Lots of stuffing and an impression of Grenache you don’t always get with this wine.
