I'm Back...

Wow... long time gone. had a great vacation with some amazing wines (that I'll review probably tomorrow)... but lets just say that the 1976 Schloss Johannisburg Riesling Auslese was to die for... as was the 1989 Paul Jaboulet Aine Hermitage La Chapelle... plus many, many others. As for tonight, the 2002 Quintessa was hot... powerful and concentrated as I remember. Awesome stuff. Also had the 2002 Dominus Estate tonight. A very powerful, cocoa-filled offering from Christian Moeuix. Has all of the hallmarks of the great Dominus of old... We'll see how time will treat this one. More tomorrow...
