It's our last weekend before the kids return from University and breach the peace for a couple of months! It'll be nice to see them and catch up on everything but our quiet Saturday evenings with a nice bottle, some tasty food and a movie or two will be disrupted, or at least changed in character. So, to celebrate another year done, last weekend we opened a special bottle I'd been saving for about 20 years. A 2002 vintage Chateau Leoville Las Cases, the grand vin from Bordeaux, France. It was magnificent, one of my all time favourite producers and wines, deep layers of dark fruits, vanilla, liquorice, ink, smooth integrated tannins and a finish that lasts for a weekend, this wine could easily go another 22 years and still improve! A wonderful bookend to the 2023 academic year!
