Does it get much better?

Sitting here, enjoying a glass of 2005 BV Georges de Latour, watching the Tivo'd version of the 2009 Masters Par 3 Contest, with Jack, Arnie and Gary all playing together... amazing place, Augusta National. Really, really nice. Had 2 different bottles of 1991 BV GDL this afternoon - one corked, one utterly beautiful. Cassis, cedar, leather, dusty, beautiful - simply great wine. Still youthful... The 2004 Sonoma-Cutrer Les Pierres is drinking perfectly... lovely subtle oak with minerals, golden delicious apples and mango. Long, clean pure finish. The 2006 Ramey Hyde Vineyard Chardonnay blows me away year in and year out. In my mind, he is the greatest Chardonnay producer in California. Stunning stuff.
