Heidi was having an AFD, but with a beautiful confit de canard in front of me I had to open a red Burg. I decided upon a half bottle of ’08 Gouges Porrets. Just as I was taking my first sip, both Lily and Patrick noticed the small bottle I was drinking from and broke out in simultaneous laughter. They are used to seeing us drink from ‘half Magnum’.
The wine was really good, Fresh and pure with berry and cherry fruits. There’s a sweet core and plenty of meat and earth to counter. It has a suggestion of licorice and a tangy acid finish that cuts through confit duck like a vinous knife.
These little-used units of measurement include the nanocentury, which is roughly 3.16 seconds, and the attoparsec, which (a parsec being about 3.3 lightyears, and atto- meaning 10^-18), comes out to about 3 centimeters.
