With clams and pasta , the 2001 Remi Jobard Le Poruzot-Dessus Meursault 1er . Pear, butterscotch, almondy and round,fully mature but not tired. I? ?ll drink these up soon. My limited ‘01 recent white Burgundy exp erience is that even if not premoxed most could use a little more acidic st ructure, that holds true here. B
With za’atar seasoned local chicken, the 2013 Raul Perez Ultreia St Jacques (Bierzo) Ripe black fruits, some smoky meat, fairly lush with some tannin and oak. G ood in a Rhonish way. B/B+
David was in town, changed mind and said he’d join us for dinner af ter I had left fishmonger with enough fish for 2, went to butcher for a her itage pork chop and we did surf and turf- Bluefish dijonnais, local pork ch op, broccoli, caprese
2011 Tablas Creek Esprit Blanc de Tablas Good acids for Rhone varieties (think 70% Roussanne), peaches and flowers, oily Rhone texture. B
2014 Wind Gap Pinot Noir (Sonoma) I liked this more than Jenise. Red fruits, spicy, a little sandalwood. Good acids, good length, good value at $25. B+/B
With grouper marinated with a kind of North African spice mix, the 2014 Dom aine Michelot “Sous La Velle” Meursault (375 ml). Some oak, round, pit fruit, sweet finish, a little empty. Disappointing B-/C+
Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent wine, B a good wine, C drinkable. Anything below C means I wouldn't drink at a p arty where it was only choice.Furthermore, I offer no promises of objectivi ty, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.
