1959 Burgundy at Rockpool Bar & Grill Sydney

November 24th, 2009. Posted by luane

Quite an amazing ’59 burgundy tasting at Rockpool Bar & Grill last night.

All the wines were incredible, Bonnes-Mares and Clos de la Roche were youthful and delicious.

Then along came Romanee-Conti, what a wine!  The length of flavour and complexity is extraordinary, no wonder it is so famous - again the proof is in the pudding and the best rise to the top!

Then, just to finish off, a cheeky little magnum of  ’82 Lafleur, this is Bordeaux at its most opulent and it is a totally luscious wine.  

Thank you for your amazing generosity Mr Doyle you are one in a billion.

    Bipin Desai hosted a similar tasting earlier this month in LA, extending it to all the vintages ending with a 9 ! And there are quite a few amazing ones, including the huge 1959 indeed. I have a feeling Mr Doyle attended actually :)
    Would have loved to be there…
    Maybe next time.
