2000 Jermann Capo Martino In Ruttaris

[VouvrayHead]

They need to make a message icon up there for "blissed-out grin."

This is the fourth bottle of a 6 pack I got for $19 a pop (I just searched to see what recent vintages are going for, and suffice it to say I won't be able to get more of this until Claire's done with med school...)

The last 3 bottles have varied from good to very good, though the most recent one before tonight was a bit long in the tooth.
Not so with this one...

This bottle is quite simply one of the best wines I have ever tasted.

Rich, complex, perfectly balanced, shows beautifully in both fruit and secondary flavors, nose-stuck-in-the-glass fragrance and equally impressive to the tongue. This is just stunning wine.


sigh.
