The last glass of a bottle of La Kiuva 2008 Arnad Montjovet is still good. It reminds me of the 2007 but is a bit heartier; maybe some of the raspberries have become plums. It is a fine match with broiled skirt steak and toasted slices of pano con sesamo topped with roasted red peppers and herbs.
I put away the beets and go on to dessert: With slices of apple and chunks of cheese I open a bottle of Baudry 2010 Chinon Rose which smells altogether different from the La Kiuva... It is pale pink, brightly acid, just hinting at cab franc leafiness. Less exciting than it was at the Attack, some weeks ago, but still a lot of flavor for not a lot of $.
