Lunch at Daniel Primack\u2019s on a perfect June day. We sat outside, listened to music, ate salt marsh lamb and talked. And drank some lovely wines.<\/p>\n

Champagne Pierre Gimonnet Blanc de Blancs 1er Cru Oenophile Extra Brut 2008 France<\/strong>
\nThis is just such a pure expression of Chardonnay. It\u2019s direct and quite taut with precise lemony fruit, as well as subtle toast and crystalline fruits. Lovely taut wine. 93\/100<\/p>\n

\"OLYMPUS<\/p>\n

Ch\u00e2teau Le Puy Rose-Marie 2014 Vin de France<\/strong>
\nThis is a naturally made ros\u00e9 from Bordeaux, and it\u2019s a varietal Merlot, and it\u2019s a remarkable wine. It\u2019s sort of a half-way house between a ros\u00e9 and a lighter red wine. Full pink\/red colour with a bit of bricking on the rim. Fine and silky with lively spicy structure. This has real finesse showing sweet red cherries and plums as well as a savoury pepperiness. Complex, vital and delicious with a forest fruits quality, and also just a hint of strawberry jam. 95\/100<\/p>\n

\"OLYMPUS<\/p>\n

Fedellos de Couto Bastarda 2013 Spain<\/strong>
\nI\u2019ve written about this wine before, so it was nice to be able to encounter it again. It’s a lighter red wine from the Ribeira Sacra region of Spain. It\u2019s from the Merenzao variety, which is the local name for Bastardo (Portugal) and Trousseau (France). The Fedellos do Couto project (which translates as the \u2018four brats of Couto) is a collaboration between Jes\u00fas Olivares, Carlos Bare\u00f1o, Pablo Soldavini and Luis Taboada, and they have 5.5 hectares of vines. Very supple, fresh and detailed with lovely sappy raspberry and cherry fruit. Nice and bright with a leafy, sappy edge. There\u2019s fruit sweetness here but also freshness. Fine and expressive. 94\/100<\/p>\n

\"OLYMPUS<\/p>\n

Lino Maga \u2018Montebuono\u2019 Oltrepo Pavese 1990 Lombardy, Italy<\/strong>
\nDaniel reckons this wine \u2018tastes of life and death.\u2019 It\u2019s supple, spicy, grippy, tannic and tarry with notes of iron, spice and blood. Lively acidity here with cherries and citrus fruits. Supple, bright and focused. 93\/100<\/p>\n

\"OLYMPUS<\/p>\n

Le Domaine de Lucie Les Saviaux 2012 Crozes-Hermitage, Northern Rh\u00f4ne, France<\/strong>
\nThis is an organic wine from Lucie Fourel. Very perfumed with lovely floral black cherry fruit. Very focused with good acidity. Expressive and pure with tar, raspberry and black cherry fruit, as well as some savoury meatiness. Nice and typical. 93\/100<\/p>\n
