Yesterday we had a bottle of 1999 Chateau Talbot with dinner. It was absolutely gorgeous, perfectly ready to drink at 12 years after the vintage. It is a St Julien 4th growth, and had classic Bordeaux notes of coffee, tobacco and ripe black fruits.
Today it has been raining all day, so the tennis was washed out till tomorrow. But instead, we had an afternoon tea party! Paul, Raksha, Marilyn and Kim came round for tea and a chat. Rose made Irish tea cake and scones, and we had a jolly good chin-wag! They left a short while ago. It was really nice to see them; I was feeling a bit down this morning, but now I feel much better.
