Comment on Louis Latour Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru 2007 by Max Veenhuyzen

I agree with you entirely Steve. The wine would need more time to show at its best, however when you’re poured a glass of new(ish) release Grand Cru, one has to “make do” (sorry, can’t think of a better term!) with the situation at hand and take it on its merits.

Anyhow, only time will tell how the ’05s will fare in future but even in discussions with other friends including a couple of diehard Burgundy drinkers, some aren’t too sure whether ‘05 really will be as good as everyone reckons.

Thanks for the comment!

Drink a 4 YO Montrachet, are you mad! Needs ten years of careful cellaring at least, 15 would be better. These are not Aussie bottle-shop-to-glass Pinot’s you know.

Max, teach me to wax lyrical, an understanding of computer speak but mostly help me to understand those shoes. Hope to cross paths soon.
Digby. I’ve got a malbec I think you’ll like.

Comment on Learning from the best by Max Veenhuyzen

Quick update on the recent event which was a Canadian Dinner prepared by chef Todd Cheavins at Opus. Probably a little pricey at $200 a head but the salmon dish was one of the best pink fish dishes I’ve had and comparable to both Neal Jackson’s salmon confit and Tetsuya’s Ocean Trout confit.

Tasting at Steve’s.

Little surprise there were some pretty spectacular wines there, though the VFM highlight was hands down the rose cremant from Simmonet Febvre.

Could easily have snuck in to any Champagne tasting and fool everyone!
