I see that you're slumming it again. Damn, I wish I didn't have that meeting tonight! Have fun and please post your tasting notes. Sometimes I just have to savour these things vicariously. |

OTW,
How was the 2004 Solaia? I'm reluctant to pull the trigger. Is it worth the coin in your opinion? |

No question it's the best Solaia I have had. It's a lot of money but I suppose it's not out of line with some other highly rated wines. I have several older vintages of Solaia in the cellar, and I couldn't let the best one escape me. I bought one on release in Italy, and then another 3 at Vintages when I realised it was cheaper than I had paid for the first one. The price at the LCBO is actually cheaper than you can get anywhere I've been in Tuscany. Fortunately, I didn't have to pay for the bottle I drank last week, but the price on the restaurant menu at Fonte de Medici was 189 Euros (~130+ Euros at local wine shops). |

Here's my note: "Opened and decanted initially 1/2 hour. Finished the bottle over 3 hours. Strong blueberries on the nose. At the 1 hour mark, some mustiness. On the palate: black cherry notes with a dry citrus finish. Good. Seemed somewhat reticent even after decanting." "When I drink, I think; and when I think, I drink."

Thx. I'm starting to wonder if this one is starting to go through a weird phase. The last one I had (recently) was not as good as the previous two I'd tasted (last year). -IB PSA: Please report gratuitous trolling/flaming immediately (little triangle at bottom right). |

Blasted Church Hatfield's Fuse from a local winery, further evidence that BC's white are a great QPR, unlike the vast majority of our reds.
