21/07/2024

Peter Scudamore-Smith MW reporting; long time traveller in Tuscany; a good time to check in how the 2010 Brunello di Montalcino are travelling; the case being a single vineyard under the Frescobaldi stable; Ripe al Convento, young at 17 years planted; undoubtedly using the recent clones of sangiovese grosso; this one a Riserva in that the winemaking team considered it outstanding; quite restrained on nose save the stamp of the variety; sour cherry; dried herbs and little flowers with a fragrance to say it’s fresh in bottle, long cork, palate of linear tannin that stops to give the stamp of this grape as mid-weight; savoury; drying and needing the glazed scallops to tease out the fruit of this grape; a deep balsamic note and dry bitterness to enjoy. Drink for 20-50 years; keep one for grandchildren and their legacy.

Jack Stuart’s Blume Restaurant in Boonah; early winter menu; beetroot, cheese puffs, sprouts, mackerel, lamb shoulder, cabbage, spiced cake; grenache. Excellent lunch in a country town very much akin to my France experiences of Michelin starred chefs residing in humble environments, less costly to operate; restricted in numbers, high on Quality, respectful of local; at Blume a listing of Adrian Tobin’s Chardonnay on Sundown Road, Ballandean.
