Dinner at Cine Citta.
1996 Kay Brothers Amery Shiraz Block 6 - I guessed it was a Californian Syrah, since it had the leather and game meat nose of Syrah but nose was too sweet to be Rhône. Thought it was overpriced although it was a very good wine.
1996 Tardieu-Laurent Côte-Rôtie - nose was so typical Côte-Rôtie, especially like Guigal. Amazingly perfumed nose of lavender, rose, stewed prunes, bacon fat, leather. Wonderful stuff. A bit light in body compared to the Block 6.
