Sunday, March 25, 2012 - We got lucky, again. This one, by rights, should have been drunk 4 years ago and at the very latest 2 years ago. Well, we're bozo's and it was in some box somewhere, fuming about non attention. No matter, no grudge. With our, by now predictable Sunday farm chicken dinner with farm potatoes roasted in farm chicken fat (oh call the cardiologist!) this Médoc was wonderful. First impression, peppercorns and baseball leather. Then after a little while my friend Rik pointed out there was a hint of the same flavour you used to get from candy-covered gum-balls, the things that you got out of those cool machines that took a nickel, you turned the handle, and the ball rolled out, usually dropping on the floor. Candy, leather, pepper. A very nice wine, and we are enjoying it slowly this afternoon as we wait for arrivals to the B&B. Can't drink too much yet, still have 2 rooms to fill up with paying guests.
