well, moving on is hard to do, but there is so much to look forward to...
So, the other night I met up with a friend at the restaurant he works at. A few drinks, and some vino... The 2000 Chateau Lynch-Bages was beautiful (even if I did call it Northern Rhone!!!)... lots of cedar, tobacco, chocolate, graphite, and black cherry. This is such a baby... Save it... another 10 years should do it. The 1998 Flaccianella (Super-Tuscan) was simply beautiful... the wine was gorgeous with rose petals, underbrush, tar, leather, sandlewood... a very pretty wine that really opened up as time went on, then hit a peak about an hour in. The 1997 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Richebourg was OFS on the nose, but a bit acidic on the palate. This one lasted for an hour in the glass, then faded big time... but roses, classic cedary/clove, silky red strawberry and cranberry. Lovely exotic spice and cedarwood. Great stuff... thanks for sharing!!!
