Look Ma, No Sox!

Finally had a Bordeaux that really rolled my sox down. '99 De Pez is a Mo-Fo: A bit of Roberto's semi-mythical "ass" on the nose, frank, lush blackberries, cherry syrup, raspberry pie, clove, tar and burnt sugar on the tongue, underpinned nicely with clean gravelly tinge and beef blood with baseball mitt. Came off almost like a big Rhone Syrah, in fact. I bet the guy who made this was pelted with rotten tomatoes by his neighbors for being a gauche Amerophile. This is a KICK-ASS wine.
