Title: Wine Recom. Post by: Aske on November 26, 2008, 05:24:36 PM so we had a bottle of this sitting around that i've been "cellaring" as best as possible until tonight.
absolutely amazing... certainly at its peak. the cherry and anise in particlar stand out on the palate and bouquet. if you can find a bottle for under $80, I might guess it's your best bet for a red right now. http://www.cellartracker.com/phone/info.asp?iWine=45424 Title: Re: Wine Recom.

Title: Re: Wine Recom. Post by: Aske on November 26, 2008, 05:31:27 PM so... being an old fart now qualifies you to be a wine connoisseur?? No , I was pretty big on wine "connoisseuring" well before. just have about 20 bottles aging out that this was the first to be opened in celebration of anything. I can't afford to spend up except on special occasions. (that said, I bought it for less than $25 5 years ago) [sm_devil] Title: Re: Wine Recom.

Post by: stroh on November 26, 2008, 07:14:13 PM Does it come in a box?

"I am not drinking any *goshdarn* merlot!" Title: Re: Wine Recom. Post by: spacey on November 26, 2008, 09:35:48 PM Sideways and my total unabashed man-love for Paul Giamatti aside, I actually like a good merlot.
