Well done.<br /><br />The little exchange between Johnny and Jojo caught by Miguel is so funny. I can almost visualise the scene reminding the excitement before the grand dinner.

The '95 CVNE Imperial GR, for me, once it opened up, leaned more toward the traditional style of the '85 Ygay GRE, though the latter is really a more stylish/showier type by nature. I agree with J-Lab's assessment in the '01 Barón Chirel having the best upside potential.<br /><br />Funny that brief exchange between Jojo and Johnny when they were opening the older bottles. I didn't catch that at the time.<br /><br />Jojo,<br /><br />Thanks, buddy, for the kind words! I really enjoyed writing this - and I also find myself re-reading it every so often to relive this wonderful event. As JC always says at dinners like these, "life is too short, so we should enjoy".<br /><br />Best to you both, and, until the next!<br /><br />NNoelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00877156455140431162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159578680459427485.post-86554992413398788042009-09-21T02:06:35.160+08:002009-09-21T02:06:35.160+08:00this commentary is one for the books. i shall ref...this commentary is one for the books. i shall refer to it over and over to relive such wonderful memories of fine wine, superb cuisine and, above all, great company. excellent, Noel. -jojoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159578680459427485.post-19783577977734409042009-09-20T16:38:57.797+08:002009-09-20T16:38:57.797+08:00" the Stockbroker's Wine-911 rescue skill..." the Stockbroker's Wine-911 rescue skills as the cork broke in half, and then broke again, leaving barely a fifth still in the bottle"<br /><br />Jojo is really a master - Johnny did a great job removing 3/4 of cork left and passed it on to Jojo,but before that I heard their conversation: Jojo said "you have to screw it slower and deeper" and Johnny said..."I am I am"...<br /><br />Great notes as usual.Your wine and the CVNE for me were the ones that paired the best with the Rabo de Toro...well if I had any Rabo left, I think it would have also paired well with the 2nd flight of wines, specially the Chirel but I inhaled the rabo..hahaMiguelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13632153273008289684noreply@blogger.com
