Lamb & Rhone

Is there a better match in foodie heaven? The wife hates lamb but is away at the office Christmas party, that means lamb for me, lollipops of English marsh lamb, paired with Guigal Cotes du Rhone 2007 (Waitrose £9.99). Inky purple, heady rosemary and cedar with dark aromatic fruit. The mouth has punch from the 14% alcohol but that is cosseted by the jammy black fruit, still young but very approachable and eager to wrap itself around those lamb chops.
