Was für eine tolle Überraschung…
Meine französische Freundin hat auf ihrem heutigen Geburtstag einen Schatz aus dem von ihrem Vater geerbten Weinkeller ausgepackt…

Einen Chateau Dassault
Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classic 2008

Was für ein edler Tropfen…
und nein, es hat keine Flasche gefehlt, sie wurde gerade geöffnet. 😇

Quite the long weekend away in St Emilion. Stayed in a beautiful apartment right in the heart of the village, enjoyed much wine and walking, and a stunning 23k race (12k & 42k also available) through glorious chateaus and vineyards. My friend had a stiff back so we jogged slowly, chatting and absorbing rather than racing - experience over time. Great event, super company and wonderful location, would definitely recommend it!

This was outstanding tonight. I feel like a lot of the older (like 30+ years) bottles I’ve opened recently have been impacted in one way or another by cork taint. Not this one. Fully mature but not tired, iron and meat drippings, cherry skin and a little minty spice. A treat.
