WINE & FOOD MATCH OF THE WEEK

L'Oustal Blanc Naick 5

94 pts

Minervois - France

While the current is the Naik 11, this Naik 5 (unofficially equivalent to the 2005) from my cellar was devine. Having decanted it for 1.5 hours, it blossomed into a ravishing mature wine filled with delicate floral notes, white pepper, forest smells with soft yet velvety tannins. OUTSTANDING!!

paired with....

Pork Schnitzel with roasted tomato and pepper puree + whipped potato.
