That DoktaP is a reasonably good human being. I think the best "win-win" wine trade I've ever made was with the good Dok.
Happy anniversary to your folks. Hope you have some smelly cheese.
Oh... and cheesecloth. Seriously. You will extract enough extra juice to make it worth the effort. Thanks for this tip, years ago, g-man.

The 1998 is a brilliant HB based on my experiences.

My last 1961 Brane Cantenac, with fingers crossed. It looks like hell - lowish shoulder ullage and signs of seepage. The penultimate bottle, consumed with DoktaP and mangiare, was more educational than anything else so I'm hoping this one at least still has a pulse. But then again, these cost me $30 each at auction a few years ago so I guess I can't complain.

Exactly. Had one a couple years ago and it was spectacular. Had one (actually small tastes from two separate bottles) last week and while still very very good it is not what it was a couple years ago. The 94 on the other hand was amazing

Same here. High of 80 F tomorrow and Monday, then back to mid-70s for the following 2 weeks.
w+a, our overnight low tonight is 66 F.
If recent years are any indication, it's debatable whether or not we'll see snow before the new year. As you noted, Ottawa and Montreal are other stories. Same with Buffalo, only an hour south.
Torontonians like to complain about our winters, but we really do get off easy.

I never hear too much about Toronto winters, like Montreal that is for sure.
I look forward to all four seasons and would not enjoy living in a place devoid of seasonal changes. That said, I have zero interest in four plus month long winters!

I was thinking of just decanting for sediment and then pouring. Does that sound about right?
Not Board-O and nor was I present at that event, but yes, you are correct.

W+A, it was a solid bottle after a few hours of air. Tannins are in check & this seems to be in its prime. I wasn't blown away, but it had some stiff competition last night. Low 90's if I had to assign a score.

I expect that G-man has more experience than me with this wine so hopefully he will chime in. But for my part, at least 4 hours in an open decanter, though I tend to decant ports in the morning and if I can, taste them every few hours to see how they are doing. When they hit the sweet spot, I cover the decanter with plastic wrap. And I put the decanter in the fridge an hour before drinking.
As for joining you, I'd love to but mrs bman is busy with Christmas preparations!

drinking surprisingly well.
Iron shavings, hints of dried blood when initially opened. After some time in the glass, it opened up with some cranberry fruit, dried earth.
On the palate was notes of red berries backed with some sweet tea, that they forgot to add the sugar, notes.
This acutally held up for a good majority of the dinner.
definitely pleasant to drink.

Red berries, sour cherry and leather with silky tannins and a long leisurely finish.
It's hard to imagine a Brunello any better than this (except an '85 Col D'Orcia).
