How Time Flies...

Wow... it's really been two weeks. I've been so crazy busy, I haven't had time for anything... Quick rundown... 1983 RvK Scharzhofberger Auslese - Killer. 2004 Weil Kiedricher Grafenberg Spatlese... stunning... 1990 Figeac - took forever to open, and then was amazing... 1983 Chateau Gruaud Larose en Magnum - massive, tannic beast... time to drink, but outstanding. 1981 Chateau Beychevelle en Magnum - elegant and beautiful... amazed it was still alive, but still had loads of life left in it. 1996 Krug... what can I say. Perhaps the finest Champagne I've ever tasted. 1998 Krug... "something" to drink while the 1996 evolves. Krug Rosé... elegant and lingering - behaves like a fully mature Rosé... Krug Grand Cuvée... wonderful how it blossoms over time. 1999 Dom Perignon - evolved yet steely. 2000 Dom Perignon - ready to drink bowl of hazelnuts. 1993 Dom Perignon Oenotheque... never my favorite, but drinking well. 1998 Dom Perignon Rosé... perhaps the finest Rosé Champagne produced... no one does it like Dom Rosé. Many more than that...
