- ddf68 - 09-18-2001 Had this two weeks ago and forgot to post it. Dense, tightly wound cassis, chocolate and cedar, not very expressive. Even the tannin was reticent. Decanted an hour before serving, then double decanted until finished two and a half hours later. By the end there was some perceptible change, but I'd say not to touch for at least five years. ddf - winoweenie - 09-18-2001 A true case of infanticide. WW - ddf68 - 09-19-2001 I always thought Swift was onto something with "A Modest Proposal". ddf |
