Hot country nose. Tastes very southern and spicy. Needs food and could be wonderful with perhaps couscous with roasted veg and coriander, say. 7.29 05/07/11 |

I have this in the fridge at home, was planning to open it tonight. The '10 has picked up some decent reviews. |

Ah, but it's quality not quantity that counts. All those in favour are mentioning food, coriander, sea-food, spicy etc. Nah, not for me. Almost all my wine is drunk on it's own or simply with crisps or peanuts. |

Almost all my wine is drunk on it's own or simply with crisps or peanuts. May I suggest a mixture of prawn cocktail and lime & coriander crisps as an accompaniment. |

Rec'd by Quirky today to go with Sea Bass dressed with (sorry but it's true) ******* anchovies with aniseed would you believe. Well, if you can eat that stuff then the Picpoul follows naturally. |

If you love the actual flavour of fresh sea bass, as I do, do not coat it in strong tinned or bottled anchovies and aniseed One anchovy would be more than strong enough for a large fish, use Fennell instead, far more subtle and a little sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper. The idea is to taste the exquisite flavour of the sea bass - which is what you are paying for - Yeah. Pooring Pernod over an open-air charcoal grilled sea bass is different ! Most of the Pernod runs off, the flavour you get is of the smokey and steamy Pernod fumes as the pernod hits the hot coals. I think that's covered the topic. |
