With a host of immediate family, we celebrated my son being born, and his first night home. It was a very happy night!

On the nose...yeasty bread dough, buttered biscuit, sweet marsala, and honey. Fantastic mid-section. Full bodied, vanilla/lemon merangue, fuji apple, sweet roasted chestnuts, honeysuckle, scone, bracing acidity and plenty of effervescence. Long finish. I don't think this is one to go the extra mile though. Drinking very well right now at year 10. This has always been a consistenly fantastic champagne. 95 pts.

Cheers!

-DRAB


So much wine.....so little time!!!

Congrats DRAB!

As for the Dom, not a big sparkler fan although I have had the '95. I'm glad someone can enjoy it.

Congratulations!

In the movie Lost in Translation, Bill Murray's character says something to the effect of: the prospect of having children is frightening, but it turns out that "they are the most wonderful people you'll ever know."

Mazel Tov. Congrats. Felicitations. All the best.
I don't want to see tasting notes on formulae, baby foods, breast milk, or the many wonderful scents of newborn excrement.

Please give my best to your wife.

Children comprise 25% of the population and 100% of our future. I'm sure baby DRAB will add
plenty of happiness and love to your future.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. We're on cloud nine right now, and thankfully our 3 year old has yet to go berzerk now that she has to share!

Rhonewarrior - The Petrus is slated for Sat. night! Wink
