E-Boys Miranda run

memories are great, if you have them..
like me I have pretty much zero short term memory.
the funny thing is though, my long term memory is somewhat amazing..

thinking back in uni days, our infamous fish n chip drive out to Miranda on an easy friday afternoon!!
so to refresh our memories.. the E-boys did it again only on a saturday and not a friday..
weather was amazing, food was great and the drive was a killer run!
so to celebrate making home in one piece..
Henschke Blanc de Noir NV Lenswood
CC: "firstly you look at the top, capped by a bottle cap! COME ON a bottle cap to cap a bottle of bubbles? I thought that was a joke, ugly as hell! and then it all went downhill... fine bubbles at the start, lime, citrusy, refreshing for a moment and next minute, bubbles stopped rising... tasted flat and far from any joy i would normally get with a bubble... ohhh and there was a hint of bitterness.. geeez"

Taupenot-Merme Chambolle Musigny

happy 2012 and the year of the mighty Dragon!
and yet I'm still posting notes from 2011... don't live in the past as some may say.

1995 Chambolle Musigny Premier Cru La Combe D'orveau by Taupenot Merme

CC: "it started well from the initial pour, lovely elegant nose of a Chambolle.. then i waited... and tasted... something is strange about this wine.. overpowering acidity and shy fruit, and not the balanced a long for.. seems like this wine has lost its soul a few years ago..."
