It was very good. Lots of graphite/pencil lead on the nose, with a hint of blackberry. Good mouthfeel, and more fruit on the palate than I would have expected, but then again this was my first ever '82 Bordeaux. |

Didn't take notes but it, surprisingly, carried some fruit notes but nevertheless carried a very tart edge that made it borderline Blah.... ____________________ An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with his fools. - Hemingway |

With ground lamb burgers cooked on the barbie (Mmmmmm!), a 2005 Syzygy Syrah.
Popped and poured, which was a mistake; this one definitely needs some air time so future bottles will get at least an hour of decanting time. Still, it is a great Syrah and HS's tasting notes on the WS web site couldn't be more accurate. $30 and worth every penny. ------------------------- "I don't want to manage my cellar...

2004 La Di Motte Pinot Grigio (Veneto).
I'm slumming it this month, working my way through a mixed case of cheap QPRs purchased on closeout from Wine Expo in Santa Monica. I'm not even that into PG but this bottle was just $7 so found its way into my case. It's actually pretty decent, 83 pts or so, but not interesting enough to warrant its own TN thread. |

I'll let you know after we have it tomorrow.
 I've had it several times in the past and not been very pleased. I've been hoping it needs more time. With each tasting it seems to be getting better. I hope I don't regret opening another one too soon. I stood the bottle up yesterday and the fill is excellent. We'll see. I'm not too enthused after the previous bottles which, while not bad wine, were certainly disappointing for Beaucastel. Just one more sip. |

A huge thanks to WIML who keeps coordinating the DAWG off-lines (and keeps allowing me to show up).
 My first time to 62 Main in Colleyville. Great room they stowed us in, and one of the best crabcakes in The 2000 Laville Haut-Brion was massive. WIML, perhaps if you'd do more dickering with me and less with someone else I could have rustled you up a taste.   And, the '89 Ausone was so elegant. Loved that. (Thanks, Mrs. win!) That said, everyone brought such beautiful wines.Fun night. Great peeps! 62 Main is worth the drive...  |

My soon to be son in law is now out of college and in the business world. He is being exposed to wine often now, and ask me ( what a good kid) to help him develop a working knowledge of wine.

Great selections for the learning curve! But I can't help but notice.... You're training your Son in Law how to consume a total of 4 complete bottles of wine in one sitting... |
