The food was as good as ever, and the wines were just thrilling. I\u2019ve rarely drunk as well, or as much.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Raveneau Chablis 1er Cru Mont\u00e9e de Tonnerre 1992 Burgundy, France<\/strong><br \/>\nThis is such a beautiful wine, although it faded a bit over the course of drinking it. It has a thrilling nose of toast, marmalade, lemon zest and nuts. The palate is pure, precise and lemony with a spicy edge to the citrus peel and hazelnut characters. Intense with a really long finish, and subtle waxy notes. 95\/100<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dervieux Thaize C\u00f4te R\u00f4tie La Valli\u00e8re 1989 Northern Rh\u00f4ne, France<\/strong><br \/>\nThis was the last vintage of Albert Dervieux before he retired and leased all his vines to Rene Rostaing. This, his top cuv\u00e9e, comes from the top of the C\u00f4te Brune, and it has aged beautifully. Long elevage in large old oak. Pristine and pure with lovely raspberry and cherry fruit, as well as some plumminess. Very expressive and detailed with lovely fruit expression and fine-grained tannins. There\u2019s some pepper and even a hint of olive. So elegant: quite Burgundian in style. This is a really lovely wine. 95\/100<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-15467\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_1369-500x500.jpg\" alt=\"lynch bages 1981\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_1369-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_1369-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_1369-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_1369-400x400.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ch\u00e2teau Lynch Bages 1981 Pauillac, Bordeaux, France<\/strong><br \/>\nThis is truly thrilling. Forget about 1982: on the evidence of this bottle I\u2019m going to be seeking out 1981s Fresh, elegant and aromatic with lovely blackcurrant and black cherry fruit along with some pine and herb characters. Really elegant palate with supple, sappy black fruits. Such a fine wine, with floral black cherry notes and potential for further development. I love the hints of pine, and the slight saltiness on the palate. This is thrilling. 97\/100<\/p>\n<p>Find these wines with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wine-searcher.com\/index.lml?referring_site=WAN\" target=\"_blank\">wine-searcher.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Had a lovely dinner with Dan Keeling at Noble Rot last night.
