Burgundy Wines

I have the pleasure of consuming the following three Burgundy Wines today.

The Chambole Musigni (mid) is about RM 450, rated 88 points.
The Nuits St George 1er (left) is around RM 350, rated 86 points.
The Bourgogne Rouge vv (right) is about RM 150. Although a village wine but still very good quality (84 points), and by far the most value for money wine for the day.

Double Parking

I hate those idiots who double park their cars. They are selfish and totally inconsiderate. To stop people from doing that to me, I shall double park people first (hahaha..). However, things are not always work out as plan. Alas… here comes triple parking champion (the white vehicle)!! Welcome to Malaysia.

Talking about finishing

It has been 7 days since I last tasted the bottle of Chateau Canon-la-Gaffeliere 2004 but the sensation feeling still lingered around my palette, nose & memories. The wine, which I rated 92 points compared to Wine Spectator 91 and Robert Parker 91, is not the best wine I have tasted. In terms of pricing, it’s nowhere close to being the most expensive wine I have tasted. In fact, it’s not even half the price of the most expensive wine I have tasted this year alone, at RM 358 retail price. However, having said that, none of the better wines can continue to refresh my memories on its greatness days after the incident. I wonder why.

It refreshes my memories back in the year 2008 when I first tasted the Chateau Cantemerle. I enjoy it so much that I still remember what it tasted like the following morning. Some think I am insane when I share the feeling with them; wait till I tell them about Canon-la-Gaffeliere.

Wine for Father’s bday

I am scratching my head over the wines to be consumed during father’s 70th birthday weekend. Perhaps the following combination is worth consideration:

First up, a Champagne Lombard Brut to celebrate the big event and to get things started. I can imagine it’s not exactly everybody’s favorite as it is not sweet in nature, but hey good sparkling are not meant to be sweet. Next up, a Spanish red wine – Initium, a blend of Tempranillo and Merlot. Good easy to drink wine perhaps suitable to enjoy during the day or with light meals.
A Chilean red – De Martino Shiraz, This 89 pointer wine has a heavier body and is perfect match for red meats. This could make things interesting. An Italian Tua Rita Tuscana 2003 might be chosen. I am longing to taste this interesting bottle of wine. Last but not the least a bottle Prosecco Grappa. A 40% alcohol sparkling wine that bound to makes everybody drunk high. I do wonder if these are sufficient for 8 adults over two nights, however.
