It's Fran's birthday this evening so a few nice things lined up (though she is back on a GP shift at 8am so I guess I'll help things along!). First up is another bottle of 1996 Dom Perignon. These have all been superb and I'm now down to my last three. I'm hoping for great things again. This has consistently been the best performing Dom I've had. This will go will some home beetroot cured salmon, followed by a lobster mac'n'cheese (one of Fran's favourite things).
To go with Lancaster salt marsh rack of lamb I've pulled out a solo bottle of 1999 Dujac Clos St Denis. Well you have to drink them. This was a gift when Jeremy Seysses came to do a tasting at University quite a few years ago now. I have high hopes judging from the tasting notes I've seen. Just hoping it is not in a grumpy phase. But having pulled the cork just now I'm pretty sure it is not!
Not sure we'll have anything to go with alphonso mango and passion fruit mousse, possibly just a wee postprandial cocktail to keep things well oiled.
Right off to check the madeira sauce reduction.
