with duck breast stuffed with foie gras.

2003 Petalos de Bierzo - not many people will be familiar with this Spanish wine, made from the Mencia grape (possibly related to cab franc). Lush dark fruit nose on a middle weight ready to drink wine makes this a great summer (or any time) bottle. The hint of bitterness in the finish added to the interest.

Bill Thanks for the notes

I note your comment on the bittereness. "adds interest". perhaps its me, but I do not like the residual bittereness seen in many Iberian and Italian.

Chacun son gout?

Have a good summer

I agree that a little goes a long way, but just a hint can be interesting.

I trust that you will also have a good summer, replete with interesting wines and ensuing notes thereon!
