TWATS Typhoon
Kells Shelter
Tasted Saturday, July 18, 2009 by tplskylrk with 754 views
Introduction
Held as a T9 came into town, but little things like that never stop a TWAT, so on she went. Usual suspects in attendance, Baldy, Kells the host, Bosh, Sim, Clive, guest and pledge Angus, minus yours truly, who had serious important TWATing to attend to in BKK.
A new TWATS rule is born! A TWAT accused of consuming more than 3 Pints prior to an event will be forced to sleep in the rain, or drive home.
Flight 1 - Girlish Whites (3 Notes)
Perfunctory Flight
Flight 2 - Serious Reds (7 Notes)
A line up of pedigree treated with the usual TWATS disrespect.
A couple of wines with questionable lineage did not CT so here they are. Most likely Sim's continuing his quest of delivering a French wine that impresses....
2002 Cote de Bergeraz Chateau Combrillac: silky yet dirty - the second part a lot like Stearnsy, silage, wrong hay, shiraz, easy, DIRTY
2006 Richard Landner The Colonial Estate Barossa Shiraz: black as Baldi's heart, sweet, gycerine, great colour, pissed Sim - "i reallly like this"
2004 Cotes de Bourg Chateau de Margarete de Fontreuse: gutless and old world, week as peer pressure, would never make it off the pier
Closing
If a TWAT could TWITTER it would look like this...
