One More (Good) Saturday Night...

Fun... Fun... It's been a few months since we've had it, so the 2001 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti La Tache... hasn't changed much. Oh well... a great bottle of wine. Strawberries, cherries, roses, clove - all of the classic La Tache notes. I found my new house Champagne... the NV Delamotte Brut rocks. It's so yeast and bready with a clean, slightly creamy finish of pears and Granny Smith Apples. Kind of like Salon Jr... oh wait, it IS Salon jr.! Go figure... But it is great stuff for the $$. Completely forgot (not sure how!!!) the 1952 Chateau Margaux. Without question the 2nd best bottle that I've had of this... sold it for a song. So cedary with sweet cherries, violets and plums. A long, long, elegant finish to this wine at 54 years of age. Didn't last but 15 minutes in the glass, but still, a great wine.
