you count down to 17:00, you dash out of work, you power-walk to your mode of transport home.. and lie down to call it a day?!
that's not my type of Monday.. I might count down to 17:00 but after that comes a whole new world!
Welcome to My Monday Nights!
2004 Barolo "Ornato" by Pio Cesare
CC: "i didn't know what to expect from this, 2004 an admiring vintage for Barolo, Pio Cesare - one of the biggest names of Italy, so the colour is dark forest red/brown, nose of sweet earth, soft juicy tannins of what an aged but big wine should display, elegant, good weight, with a tint of tobacco and sweet cigar, a great lead in to the next wine..."
1961 Chateau Lynch Moussas
CC: " this is by far the oldest wine I have ever tasted and I envy the ones who were born in Vintage 1961 regarded as one of the greatest year of Bordeaux. To live a life of 51 years (if my maths is correct) that's certainly somewhat remarkable, not to mention how it blossomed and showed its full potential on the night... dark ruby with a tinge of brown rim of old age, what fine nose of sweet fruit and mellow oak of Bordeaux, smooth silky texture leading up to perfect harmony with the intesne juciy flavours, and can tannins be so soft and delicate? oh yes within this magnificent wine of the night... full credits to JK for providing this lovely wine... merci beaucoup"
