why do i learn so late

because i don't know any better

i have no idea why or when i bought this

but glad i did

this cdp kills me

well into early secondary but still holding young fruit, this is a cusp to love

asks for and deserves good grilled meats and organs

sweet delivery of red honeyed silk slides in and unsuspectingly rips the palate forward with tannins asking if you're ready to really play.

if you define wines by numbers, this will either befuddle or simply lose

even so, you could try to do a breakdown and in the breakdown your thoughts might break down before the wine even hits your throat midway

the cool thing about good wine

no matter the price or pedigree

is that if you know what end of the spectrum you're looking for

you know it when it shows up

especially when it leaps beyond expectation

hey, i'm not talking about a perfect wine

i'm talking about a rough wine

a folk wine

and it kicks ass

but most importantly

it plays on the palate

like a jester

I kept reading this looking for a rhyme, but it never materialized,
but then I read it backwards and it made all the difference.

Dunno about the backwards thing, but keep in mind that he lives in the land of the Haiku and the Zen Koan (sorry about the missing diacritical thingie).

I believe this is written under the aegis of e.e. cummings. I didn't know old e.e. liked Chateauneuf du Pape.

I agree about the Charbonierre even though it breaks numbers of my rules to do so.
 
cummings was much more bold with punctuation and spacing, among other things....but heck, i'll take the compliment.

personally, i like how it fattens in the middle. but nothing else holds up under inspection.

not that it was really meant to.
