546. Domaine du Pegau, Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Réserve, 2006
The first bottle of this left me a bit ‘meh’, but the second, served on its own, showed real interest & quality. Phew! I’ll …
545. Château Labouré-Roi, Meursault 1er Cru Clos des Bouches Chères, 2005
Got told off for noting this one at dinner with SJ, AM and Chris. Anyway, reasonably happy to have done so as it was …
