Thanks.

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Coïncidentally - from the same page on the Wine Society list - to go with today's duck we had a lovely little madiran - 'Odé d' Aydie' - £9-50 I think - a good grip to cope with the roast duck, but not at all harsh, nice perfume. Very much recommended.

... this weekend we have been mostly drinking :
ch Le Clos du Notaire 2009 cotes de bourg.
To quote the Wine Society : "75% merlot with the balance cabernet, this has the foursquare structure typical of the bourg appellation, with good fresh attack and pure fruit. Now to 2016. 13.5%"
For less than a tenner for a tidy little claret from a super-excellent year, this is a real bargain. I shall have to see whether the Wine Society has any bottles left...

... noöne here seems to have come up with anything which even approximates Gerald Asher's * classic description of a nuits-st-georges :
"Deep colour and big, shaggy nose. Rather a jumbly, untidy sort of wine, with fruitiness shooting off one way, firmness another, and body pushing about underneath. It will be as comfortable and comforting as the 1961 Nuits St. Georges when it has pulled its ends in and settled down."
... still waiting

Even Caliban, who sadly is of the other persuasion, agrees...

Having taken a fancy to more fish recently (devil-of-a-thing to cook just so though, isn't it...) I found a lovely white bordeaux in Sainsburys - this is the 2011 Roc Saint Vincent, a sauvignon blanc, which we've been having with Smoked Cod or Haddock sauced with carbonara, mascarpone etc. Chill it as far as you dare.. then how it cuts through! Delicious.
