Twere' a good drink. Agree wholeheartedly with Foodskie & WOW. I have a close freind and business associate in San Diego that was a single-malt drinker. Took he and a manager to lunch and "Happened " to have a bottle of 90 Ch Montelena. Both said "Don't waste that wine on us if it's a good bottle " and my reply was, " Try It !" Since then both have been stuffing their palates with as many bottles of juice as they possibly can and have both developed fairly discerning tastes. My Buddy went to France for 2 weeks last month and mentioned he had the best wine he'd ever experienced. It was an 82 Margaux so it was no surprise. At dinner with CB before putting her on the flight back to Phoenix Thurs nite we were joined by this feller and his MUCH prettier half (Know What I Mean Roberto?) Served two wines blind and derned if he didn't pick out the 82 Margaux, but only after some serious tasting as the other bottle was an 83 Margaux. Impressive for a newbie who has only had the wine 3 times previously and under ideal conditions. Just proves greatness is something ANYONE can recognize.
