'05 l'opera des vins Concerto d-Oniss

[drssouth]

2005 l'opera des vins Concerto d-Oniss, alc 13%...clearly frizzante with almost a selzer water characteristic....it really has good fruit and a smooth journey across the palate...the finish becomes a bit sweeter then some quinine abruptly stops it....the middle is so enjoyable that the unusual nature of the wine is not offensive...quite interesting...still young...

Thanks for the note. I liked the '05 quite a bit but finished mine in '08.

We always have the option of dissipating the CO2 by shaking vigorously, like I'm told they do in Paree, but somehow I never get around to doing it.

I know that Sparky Marquis has a "shake" method (in a vain attempt to improve his wines)...haven't heard of it being used here

So that's what the boys are doing after the championship basketball games. I always wondered what that was all about.
