Thursday, February 19, 2015 - Like sneaking into some weird and wonderful sex club where strange and exotic things are just about to happen - the sap of anticipation rises - booom - then someone slams the door in your face. This has a tickle, a tease, a whiff of what is to come - all nuance and innuendo and then it shuts down and you can but just about imagine what excess lies ahead - a cornucopia of terroir and black fruit and minerals most likely. Oh sweet goddess of time please pass so one can kiss thine lips. Come quickly.

And let's set the record straight, Gin was not just last night, IIRC, it was a bookend-style fête. Perhaps that qualifies as 'very nice'. Either way, Bravo, mate!

(But sometimes a delicate flower DOES take a long time to "open-up"-and it's worth it!) Great great note! And the Droin too! A very beautiful Chablis.
