I had some 19 Briords tonight. Different scale is a great phrase. Clisson is tenor sax and Briords alto.

just finishing 04 briords opened on tuesday.
definitely dorian modal scale

It was a good bottle. They aren’t all so intact. It’s just that when they are, 🧨 .

Wait a minute, is that an emoji? Don't we need to hold an exorcism now, or something?
 
Tech Geek here. That is a firecracker emoji, as rendered by Microsoft products. Firecracker was added to Unicode 11.0 in 2018. We are up to version 15.0, and firecracker is number 1041 out of 1874 available.

Alas for the Politburo, Unicode characters are considered regular text, not graphics, thus defeating their plan of simply not providing any cartoon blandishments.

The 🧞 is out of the 🏺 so all that remains is your willpower to resist using them.

(I'm going to go have a good laugh now.)

Where's the show-off emoji when you need it

Mark,
While we disagree on this Clisson we do agree on the Briords.
Always a delicious and age-worthy wine

You compared this Clisson to GC Chablis, a striking assertion for this 'peasant wine' (Jonathan Leasburg). Do you feel this vintage is a step up in degree, in the perspective of Clisson's evolution since its first bottling, or caused by incidental variation in vintage characteristics, which lifted it to this level as a one-off in 2019?

Other favorite recent vintages?

FWIW, Clisson is a major holding (relatively speaking) among the whites in my crawl space, albeit my most recent vintage is 2014 (and I still have a 2005 magnums).

Cheers and thanks.
I don't know how I missed this when you posted it. If Jonathan Leasberg is a misspelling of me, when did I ever call any Pepiere a peasant wine? If it's someone else, carry on.

It wasn't Leasberg, it was Leasburg. Not to be confused with Loesburg. No more permutations are possible.
 
Sorry about that, Jonathan; I've corrected the original reference, FWIW.

The statement occurs in the thread titled "TN: The Triumphant Return to Wu's Wonton (June 11, 2021)." Reading it now, I see you were just quoting Jeff Grossman, who was discussing the 2014 Briords VV, with his usual sparkling wit and biting humor. So, I guess, sorry about that again.
