With roast roe buck, plum and blackberry marinade.

Very good: sweet black cherry nose, then plum, more black cherry, tar and
pepper, smoke. Tannins all gone, so a little out of balance; probably a
few years over to be truthful, but still great length. A solid B+.

That sounds great, Emery, both food and wine. My '89s are all history
now, even the Beaucastel. My oldest CdNPs are now '95s and I'm
approaching them with a bit of trepidation.

I've found the 95s very solid although I was pretty unconvinced in the
beginning. But now open and in their prime AFAICT.

One of the nice things about Grand Tinel is that we've known the parents
and now the "children" (OK, probably in their 40s!) who currently run the
estate. Not that we've ever been close friends but there's something
nice about staying with a family production for so many years; when we
see the kids we send our best to the parents and remember visits from
long ago... We're still holding a jeroboam of '90 and a few older ones, I
think there's a mag of 78 which should really be put out of it's misery!

Hey Bill,

You know the answer to that. The roebuck comes from the same place as
the plums and blackberries. That's what we call "eat local."

One of the great pleasures I get from my farm is the local provisions. Fresh eggs, local heritage breed pork and lamb all from within a mile. Goat cheese made right down the road, berries in season from our bushes and plenty of fresh veggies from the garden including the best sweet corn you can imagine right out our back door. Fresh fish from our pond (Bass, Crappie and Catfish) and Venison, Turkey,quail and pheasant.....and mushrooms! We drink a lot of Rhone wines as I find them to be a perfect fit with game of all types. Enjoy!

That sounds like a very similar circumstance, even if separated by the
pond! Wish we could get sweet corn though. I brought over seed a few
times but I don't think there was really enough sun to ripen properly.

Mushrooms, indeed! I know you get morels too, which we don't sadly.
Yesterday we had a nice haul of cepes, today some hedgehogs, girolles and
lepiotes. Couldn't agree more about Rhones with game; though for
tonight's (farm-raised) rabbit I got out a bottle of the Coudert bojo
that was discussed here recently.

Beaujolais with rabbit sounds perfect. I usually opt for pinot noir or Chianti or depending on the sauce, chardonnay but I will try Beaujolais next time.

Not much old CdP left here. Some Mont Olivet. A magnum even.

Actually I had meant to comment that I find '95 seems to be drinking well
now, even though I wasn't particularly fond of the vintage at the outset.
