nice innofensive wines finally decided to treat myself with an early B/D present. Looking in the cellar log I found the last bottle of 82 Pichon Lalande jumping from the page screaming " DRINK ME...DRINK ME!!! " so having low resistance of will due to my late illness I opened that hummer up. Still a deep ruby accentented by just the slightest of orange at the rim. Gorgeous nose of red and black fruits, Cocoa, candied peelings, spicy mineral notes and a whiff of cinnamon rolls. Soft silky entry, weighty center and the legendat 5 lapper finish. As lush as you can want in a drink. HAPPY B/D to moi! 100/100 29 on futures. 13.5% alc. WW

What's it feel like to be 90?

Even though he still has a few short years to get there, Verne probably knows based on his experiences with whatever dreaded bug he and CB had.

Happy Birthday! Our best wishes to you.
Sounds like you started celebrating in style with that wine.

Tankee alla' youse (even Buck-snort). Was fun and this is a fun week. Lots of close friends, family, and bill collectors showing up for the free booze(not really top-notch) and food (really top-shelf) and so-so company. Am having a select few of my out-of-towners over to house to pillage the cellar for a few hours Sat afternoon. Will post when I decide which of the dreck I need to purge from the cellar, or maybe not. WW [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/wink.gif[/img]
