WTN: 1999 Justin Isosceles

[tjaehnigen]

Had this last night with the DC Crue at Butterfield9. This was the wine I brought.

Here are the sketchy TNs I tapped into my pager...

Very balanced and elegant, very fruit forward with a hint of sweetness to it (maybe this is the syrupiness that was mentioned by Rev and others?). I also got a sense of guinnea fowl and a wee bit of cassis. Great finish. Certainly not 'restrained', quite the opposite, but not like the gushing face of a child telling you about the cool dead turtle he found in the road, either.

This is worth 92 TJ points presently.

Great description!

doc,

I quite agree. I always prefer the strange turn of phrase to the "gobs and gobs" approach.
