Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

[TheRealTMA]

Seems like a recipe I might be able to do. But I won't be putting Lakes Folly in it!!

No. Just a cheap red for the lamb shanks! The folly is for drinking!
Very easy recipe. You can’t really go wrong with lamb shanks.

Drinking beautifully.
Bright fruits, assimilated tannins, wonderfully complex & approachable.
Absolutely delicious.

It's truffle season in WA. Go to is aged Neb or Burgundy to match that earthiness of the truffles.

Started the night with champagne of course. 2018 disgorged yet still so fresh


Squash and potato soup with shaved truffle matched well with the Jura. They do say dry sherry is a good match to soup in general, so unsurprisingly this went well.


Sadly, this was corked.

But this backup was singing and in a really good spot. Decanted for about 6 hours but probably didn't need it. The air didnt do it any harm.

The '82 was decanted for about 8 hours and just glorious. Had stood up in the cellar for five days prior and just as well. Checkout the sludge left in the bottle. There was still more in the bottle that only came out after rinsing with water. Carefully decanted the wine to keep it nice and clean.




Finally finished with vanilla bean ice-cream with a drizzle of truffle honey matched to this
