- TheEngineer - 09-08-2009 This thing needs a major decant (I've read some pretty poor reviews on this wine and most noted that they dcanted for 2-4 hours). In my case, knowing this, I tried it after it had sat half finished in a bottle for 8 hours. Only then was it coming back into shape. It will never be a blow your socks off Bordeaux but for the price that I got this at ($20), it is a serviceable bottle. Talk about tight....no analogies, as I'm sure WW would have so poetically proposed. - winoweenie - 09-09-2009 "a new pair of shoes", "IKs' wallet", "Drews' back-swing", "Hotsies retirement schedule", or perhaps "KCs' leash that Judy has on hims neck". Is them what you be talking 'bout? - TheEngineer - 09-09-2009 Yup.... [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img] Maybe not quite as tight as IK's wallet but maybe a bit looser than KS's leash.. At least Judy lets him breath.... [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img] - Kcwhippet - 09-09-2009 Uh..... say what??? I'll have you know I'm quite happy with the relationship Judy and I have - mostly. - Drew - 09-10-2009 and it's not my backswing that's tight....it's at the 19th hole settling up my losses that the tightness takes hold [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb/biggrin.gif[/img] Drew - TheEngineer - 10-21-2010 D@mn, this thing shows no sign of loosening up!!! needed 5 hours in the glass to start to relax a bit... Still tight! - TheEngineer - 10-21-2010 D@mn, this thing shows no sign of loosening up!!! needed 5 hours in the glass to start to relax a bit... Still tight! - wondersofwine - 10-27-2010 Sounds like Engineer might have been a little "tight" too, double-posting like that. - TheEngineer - 10-27-2010 'Twas not me [img]/ubb/smile.gif[/img] It has to do with some combination of clicking the submit button and something else [img]/ubb/smile.gif[/img]...and I'm sticking to that story [img]/ubb/smile.gif[/img] - TheEngineer - 04-18-2011 Pulled a bottle of this from a friend's cellar to see how things were going. Still buttoned up and not showing much of anything until a big decant. No change in notes. |
