So I had every intention of posting a #tbt today, but fortunately life intervened! We opened a 2008 #guigal #lamouline and then the floodgates opened! The 2013 Bond St Eden would have been wine of the night most nights, but tonight even the supposedly off vintage 2008 La Mouline was hauntingly good. So good that we had to open a second bottle, which was somehow even better than the first. Subtle pepper notes combined with smoked meat and pleasant barnyard aromas won us over before the first sip. The La Mouline attacked our palates with plush red fruit, soft tannins and a finish that seemingly went on forever. The 2013 Bond St. Eden was outstanding and would have been the standout most nights, but not tonight. The 1998 #janasse #chateauneufdupape was very elegant and more like a burgundy than a #gsmblend #wine #winelover #winetasting #winelovers #wineporn #winestagram #sommelier #sommlife #wineinstagram #instawine #wineoclock #winenight #wineoftheday #wineblogger #coterotie #napavalley #janasse #chateauneufdupape #graileys #followforfollowback (at Graileys) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpqVtN7nCtH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bzp0uhdhvqgb
