WB posters are an educated, strange, and clever bunch. Warren’s use of the word “senescent” in his recent TN, suggested a call for other favorites. I am nominating (from that same TN) the word “edentulous” and Warren’s clever use in the phrase "Long in the tooth (to the point of being edentulous)."
Education obviously only goes so far. Corey thinks that since I have no fur growing on my shins that I shave my legs and that all Califorians should have a golden suntan. You got the “strange” part right anyhow.
NUITS-SAINT-GEORGES ‘CLOS DES FOURCHES’ 2007, DOMAINE JAQUES-FREDERIC MUGNIER
Lovely ripe cherry fruit here on this juicy, fleshy nose. It is not that sophisticated but quite babelicious and there is most definitely a place for tits out Pinot particularly when the winemaker is not charging the earth for them. I suppose there are hints of minerality also present on this nose but it is really the fruit which is tickling my aesthetes. The palate is extremely voluptuous for a village wine – well upholstered with luscious fruit and polished tannin. This is most certainly a really > callipygian > example of Nuits which makes me wonder about how ‘Nuits’ it really is; should we accept Nuits de chez Chambolle as a valid expression of the genre or demand them all to be a tad more butch than this. I’m not completely sure, but I am very happy relax my normally stringent standards and enjoy this scrumptiously succulent bottle of Burgundy.
A bit OT, but I could read Davy’s tasting notes all day. Only Mr. Levenberg is in the same stratosphere.
