We tasted blind, paired with caviar, Smith Haut Lafitte 2006 white, golden yellow, fat, creamy, luxurious oak, a classic Grave, noted 93 by RP and Valandraud Blanc No. 2, a lighter colored, drier, brighter, no oak, followed by some Russian vodka. Too bad we wanted to stay in control, because this vodka was easy to drink, actually too easy.
With a remarkable beef sirloin and fries we tasted two wines blind: 2005 Clos des Fees, which Murielle liked the best, powerful, with hints of truffles, young and still evolving and Hugo 2005 from Calvet-Thunevin guessed by Daniel, smooth, which is surprising considering the real power of these wines, these terroirs and these vines.
Paired with strawberries, we drank water
, and coffee: Yes, we have to work tonight and have to attend a dinner with the jurade of Saint Emilion and its AG.
