Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
rather fresh, on apples and peaches. Quite clean despite it’s age, and very lively. It’s not too complex but really enjoyable. Goes on with some notes of apricot pie and vanilla crème
restaurant Palate
quite bold and very fruity (apple, pear, gooseberry) with just a dash of white pepper. Again, it’s not too complex but it’s nicely balanced and very enjoyable. 85 points . May 16, 2005 CONCERT REVIEW: STAX - SOULSVILLE USA The Barbican, London 25th April 2005 - by Nick Morgan Have you ever thought that there might be just too much love in the house? It went like this. First the lady who used to run the tea and biscuit trolley at Stax Records in Memphis – she’s now the curator of the recently opened Stax Museum in a recreation of the demolished studios – loved us, for about ten minutes. In fact she loved us so much that she came back after the interval and loved us some more. Then Skip Pitts, front man and guitarist with warm-up act the Bo-keys (who played the wicha wicha wah wah bit at the start of Shaft) loved us, as did drummer Willie Hall (who played the tsshp tsshp hi-hat on the same Issac Hayes mega-hit). Mable John Ben Cauley, trumpeter for Otis Redding, sang for us and loved us too, and Marvell Thomas (son of Rufus, brother of Carla) bowed his head in an almost reverential act of love every time the word was mentioned. Mable John , who was guest vocalist with the Bo-Keys loved us in every key except the one the band were playing in, and performed her hit ‘Your good thing is about to end’, during which she indicated more than once that she had a particular affection – if not love - for the good thangs of the men of old London town. The solemn and scholarly Booker T Jones (Hammond Organ supremo par excellence), when he finally climbed down from the elevated Altar of Groove that he occupied for most of the evening to speak to us, loved us from the bottom of his heart. Booker T and the MGs Pony tailed Steve Cropper – wonder guitarist, genius songwriter, arranger, engineer and ace producer, loved us for being the people who brought Memphis Rhythm and Blues to the world. Donald Duck Dunn loved us for giving him the opportunity to strut the stage, with awesome Fende
