Unexpected effects of Primofiore 1998

At a dinner party yesterday evening I made the acquaintance of two Washingtonians; the husband was interested in wine, and my offer of a Quintarelli Primofiore 1998 that I had recently rediscovered prompted an enthusiastic response on his part. He then offered a sniff to his very pregnant wife (C section appointment two weeks from today). She sniffed appreciatively and he and I traded wine anecdotes including a fond reminiscence of Mike Tilch and his odd sales techniques. His silent wife suddenly spoke up and announced that her water had broken and that she would have to have her C section that evening. Her husband chugged the remainder of his glass and looked fondly at the rest of the bottle of the Primofiore; I put a cork in it and he took it with them to the hospital with two plastic cups.

I am sorry for the incomplete tasting note but I was expecting to reflect on a second pour which I never got. Another guest was quite bitter about the disappearance of the bottle.
 
I've heard Quintarelli is some powerful shit, but....mAhn!
This baby might be the new Parker/Meadows/Galloni/Tanzer/Thor/etc. of his generation.
 
I think that besides nathan, Cole and his Quintarelli have magical powers too. When we first got acquainted last year I recall him bringing the 1997 (not sure if it was Primofiore) and my wife's water broke a few days later. Luckily everyone got to try the wine - though I took the leftover home too.
 
We'll have to see how the kid turns out.

Primofiore (first bloom) is allegedly young vines production but other sites have different stories; 50% corvina plus rondinella, nebbiolo (?!), croatina and sangiovese (??) according to an Italian web site but who knows.

Cristian, I had really not known that there would be a pregnant woman there last night. In any event, you got the 97 Valpolicella, a bit higher up the hierarchy.

I'll open a bottle of Alzero, if anyone is hoping for twins.

I've got magnums of the Valpolicella, but am not sure exactly what that might bring about!

I'm not sure either, but if it lasts more than four hours, call your doctor.
