Aperitif: Champagne Chartogne-Taillet
Course 1: Topic: 3 grape vartieties:
1996 Corton Charlemagne, Olivier Leflaive - good nose - buttery. Starting to show some age.
1997 Scharzhofberger Spätlese Riesling, Egon Müller - touch stinky at first. Opened up with air. A fine wine.
1999 „M“ Grüner Veltliner, F.X. Pichler - a big wine, still very fresh. Will age well. My favourite in this flight.
Course 2: Unagi & Gänseleber, Eingelegter Kürbis und Sanbai-Vinaigrette. Topic: Bordeaux from the 1940s:
1945 Château Beychevelle - still good fruit.
1947 Château Margaux - very good. Sweet fruit on the nose. Good fruit and balance. One of the best vintages for Château Margaux. The van-der-Meulen bottling is brilliant. My favourite in this flight.
1949 Château Destieux Magnum - a very charming and fresh wine.
Course 3: Maronenschaumsuppe, Glaciertes Kalbsbries und weißer Trüffel aus Alba. Topic: Château Cheval Blanc:
