Pinot Rocks!
Not just any Pinot mind you... but Pinot Noir. Specifically, Pinot Noir from Burgundy. Where else in the world do you get wines that are just so darn expressive! They let you know about where they've been, how they were made - and they are wines you can not fake. It's either you made it correctly or you didn't. As the wines ages, the truth becomes even more evident. Wow. 1976 Dom. Leroy Pommard- Arvelets. It's the stuff. I've gone on and on about my love of Mde. Bize-Leroy and her family's wines, so I won't continue. Lets just say, for people that know their wines, this is an unbelievable glass of earth. Wet wool, raw meat, black-fruits and sweet cedar. Dried earth, dried barnyard, cranberries. And the power - wow. Even at almost 30 years of age, this wine has the power of Pommard. That's not something you can fake. Had 3 different bottles last night of this. All of them were very similar - very profound. Would make it the 4th time I've tasted it. Anyone have one? Drink up.... Cheers.
