We served a flight of
Beaux Frères pinot noirs last night starting with recent vintages (2008, 2007, 2006, 2005) and ending with a
2002 beaux freres ''upper terrace'' and
1992 beaux freres ''the vineyard'' (their first released vintage) to accompany a cheese plate. I'm not a big fan of these style of wines... they were showing alright, everyone agreed on the 1992 being the star, well rounded and the most mature. After being open for a few hours it started to die a little and developed some ''burnt'' aromas that werent so appealing. In the Kitchen
Chef Christopher Brooks and
Arnaud Cotar laid the smackdown with some ass kicking creations...
