Late snacks and drinks at Caprice.
1999 Jean-François Ganevat Les Vignes de mon Père - beautiful nose. Definite oxidation here and maturity, with pain grillé, marmalade, a bit of straw, and some sweetness on the nose. Kinda like a dry Sherry or a Boal. Definitely acidity on the palate here.
1998 Grange des Pères - almost like a Bordeaux, smoky with ripe fruits, woodsy, oaky, and tobacco notes. Drinking beautifully now.
1997 Huet Vouvray Cuvée Constance, en demi-bouteille - tons of honey, raisins, some botrytis, and a bit of acetone. Very dark amber in color... kinda brown, actually.
1990 Pierre-Bise Coteaux du Layon Rochefort Les Rayelles - big nose with lots of plastic. Not sure that I like it.
Full post on the evening is
