2003 Clos Manou

This is a burly, muscular little devil. Thick with flannel tannins and dark dark fruit. RMP said this was mature in 2006 (!), but I think it is at least 4-5 years off and maybe more. An exceptionally well made little wine though.

Did it remind you of Charles Bronson?

Clean up on aisle 3! Mods, can you shuffle this off to Wine Talk?

Was this your dinner wine, or dinner date?

I want to make love to this wine.

Plan to boink the bottle? First remove the sharp foil capsule.

I suspect ol’ Ben had the punt in mind . . . .

Why is this in Wine Talk? “Clos Manou” is the name of Neal’s girlfriend.

You are a sexist. Clos could be male, female, or other.

No, I have met Ms. Manou, and she is clearly female.

Of course, she could be one impressive cross-dresser, but I would expect nothing less for Neal.
