Oh my

[Florida Jim]

With tuna grilled rare, smashed red skin potatoes and green beans:

1999 Dugat-Py, Gevrey-Chambertin VV:

Savor it, ‘cause very few wines at any cru level measure up.

A penetrating nose resplendent in earth nuance and ripe red fruit leads to a muscular and full wine in the mouth that’s still a bit raw but the fruit concentration is intense and deep; the smallest sip fills the entire palate and lasts and lasts . . . multi-dimensional, grippy, rich and memorable. ‘Had both Diane and I sighing.

Needs a minimum of 5-8 years and likely more; however long, may I live to taste it at peak. Utterly Gevrey.

Best, Jim

This does sound wonderful. Is it widely available? What is the approximate cost?

It was about $70 and is now virtually unfindable.

Oh well Go ahead and tease us

[tanabutler]

Florida Jim's is one kind of teasing I don't ever mind. It's the vicarious thrill kind, so well written.

Thanks, FJ.
