Didn't you really like the 2000 at one time? If you say no, I will figure out which cheap one which was similar that you really liked.

Our camp is tiny in comparison and sometimes I put myself in the man's place and consider the shanty he has to suffer across the lake from him. It is a small lake, only two miles long and one third a mile across at the point between the two houses in present description. If the man had a comparable boat for the lake, it would be the Queen Mary. As it is, he has a long electric one with a canopy top, smaller than an ocean liner, probably his ode to environmental proportion. You can't hear it coming. It whispers by our shore in the evenings, full of dinner guests following feasts that I can only imagine, quietly surveying how the other side lives. Would I trade places with him if I could, with regard to respective abodes? Probably. I would have to because that is human nature.

The first one I drank a couple of years ago showed a lightweight and uninteresting wine. Tonight, it was different. Bright fruit and licorice on the nose that carries through to the palate. Not terribly complex, and a wine I would call a nice luncheon claret.
Much better than our dual tasting notes on the 2000 D'Aggasac, Jenise.
Jenise wrote:Spot on. Not complex enough for the serious category, not a brooder--no sexual attraction --but a good bottle of wine nonetheless.
