Pompano Dinner
Posted: Sun Aug 06, 2023 1:49 am
Last Thursday, We (Josée and I)have had a dinner with Katy and Stuart at one of the favorite place, Cafe Maxx.
What a magnificent time we have had. As the well known citation « BWE is not about wine, it about People ». My time spent with Katy and Stuart, having great discussions and knowing more each other, is the most memorable things.
The food was delicious, we had Pie Caviar, Scallops and Lamp but our favorite plate was the Tuna Pizza.
And the wine, Again, Stuart legendary generosity has shined:
89 Lynch Bages
82 Margaux
82 Mouton
and a 2019 Inniskillin Vidal Ice Wine
Speechless, I was!
The Mouton was Amazing, my choice for the WOTN, the Lynch shined, and the Margaux was great. Stuart prefered the 89 BWE iconing Legends!
We started with The BWE wine, 89 Lynch Bages, still a youth wine, charming nose of black berry, concentrate, Pauillac aspect, beautiful balance, silky, long finish, that the one improve the most during the dinner, 97
The 82’s, I have tasted those 2 wines before on tasting a couple times, mainly with BWE but not enough to evaluate bottle variation… from Stuart experience, the two 82 wasn’t « their best bottle », eventhough both were fabulous for me!
The Margaux was on finesse, still some margaux berry on nose with soya and, tertiaries aromas. Nice finesse, more tertiary aspect with acidity, a bit thin, medium body, 94
The Mouton was … Mouton! magical, powerfuel, long, nice concentration of blackberry fruit, Silky tannins, almost creamy with the Pauillac bone. He reminds me in a way, the style of The Charming Mouton 96 we had 2 months ago! 98.
2019 Inniskillin Vidal Ice Wine: Nice nose of peach, with hint of caramel and brown sugar. Charming, onctuous, well balanced and freshness 92-93
What a great time we had, thanks again Stuart
