TN St Estephe SFWS tasting

Was the Cazin the Cuvee Renaissance (kind of demi-sec) or Vendanges Manuelles (dry)? I like both (but then, I like acidity more than most!).

Glad to hear of the good showing of the '95 Meyney, my most recent one didn't show as well. I always liked the '82 Meyney, though I'd probably give the edge to the '86 & '89.

Thanks for very good informative notes.

Dale Twas the Vendages Manuelles

no wonder you like the acidity. Would you concur that this wine would very suitable with Far East food?

John: Re: Dame de Montrose 96 that you described in your tasting notes. I bought a bottle of this recently and was told it was ready to drink but would improve. All that I've read of this wine is that I should leave it for a couple of years or so. What is your opinion?

I also bought a 2001 Tourelles de Longueville at the same time and with the same comments. I would have thought it a bit early for this vintage. Have you tried this one yet?

Blind I would probably guess the dry Cazin was Savennieres, which does pair well with east Asian food, so I'd say yes.

The Cuvee Renaissance I first had in NYC's Chinatown, and can attest it does quite well with Chinese food!

Graham Haven't tried the Tourelle.

But the Dame is a star wine. Yes drinkable now, but huge tannins, try again in a few years.

Many thanks. I'll try and track down a couple more bottles of the D de M to track its progress. Graham

Ah, the '82 Meyney... Had my last bottle of this about 5 years ago. Yours must have been stored better than ours, as ours was already showing its age. What a great wine. And I wish I'd been with you: it sounds like a fine evening was had.
