Sorry, no verbosity or pomposity here with regards 'TN's', however just a number of bottles that the 4 of us truly enjoyed last night:
Stratus White 2000 (A Canadian version of Conundrum, from a new boutique Niagara Winery - Excellent)
Rutherford Hill Chard 2002 (Top notch Californian Chard, very, very nice)
Rodney Strong Reserve Pinot 2001 (Still not a Pinot fanatic, but this oaky number was very enjoyable)
Chateau Palmer 'Alter Ego De Palmer' 1999 (Excellent)
D'Arenberg 'Dead Arm' 2002 (Literally intoxicatingly wonderful, if just ridiculously too young, even after a 4 hour aeration - I won't open another for a few more years)
Anyone have any comments about any of the above bottles? Most have received fairly positive press - With exception to the Rodney Strong.
Needless to say, truly a great evening and an unfortunate morning after ;>
)Cheers,
- Ian
