Friday, December 9, 2005 - we popped another one this weekend. my wife bought me some Riedel Burgundy Somms. so we popped the les larmes. again, dry strawberries and cherries, minerals (iron as Jaimetown said). initially smoky but after a while in the decanter the dry fruit comes out. has the backbone to last, but i am really enjoying these. really benefits from some time in the glass/decanter.
these glasses are huge!!!! they really do aid in giving air to the wine. felt like i was drinking out of a fish bowl.
