A wee bit ago, working my way through one of the most god awful hangovers in recent memory, brought on by a night of, inter alia, Oregon Pinot, Eric and I decided that since the Bloody Marys and the viewing of "Bring It On" (my new favorite movie) didn't work, we would go eat. Below are some tasting notes I managed to transcribe while trying to keep down my rabbit gnocchi.

1988 Pierre-Jacques Druet Bourgueil "Vaumoreau"
10/14/00: Bright ruby color, not yet browining. Nose of bell peppers, herbs, leather and deep ripe cherry. Inner mouth perfumed of pitted fruit, cherry stones, spices and cedar. Long with fully resolved tannin. Fresh and lively and an absolute joy to drink, even with a hangover.

1980 Noel Verset Cornas
10/14/00: Still ruby in color with only the slightest hint of brick. Very suprising how youthful this wine is. Nose of smoked meats, blackberry fruit and coarse ground pepper. On the palate it has enough acid for definition and enough tannin to cut through the fat of my duck. A really great bottle and quite suprising.

I hope that this contributes to the CWD. As much as I'd like to contribute in more provocative and interesting ways, my creative juices runnith not in said direction. Purple are mine teeth, spotty and hard doth mine liver be.

cheers.
