The Eye Still Has It

So the eye still has it.

I read wine magazines the way a teenage boy reads a porn magazine. I study carefully what the editor says and I just see the magazine for the pictures and scores i.e. vital statistics?

Unknown to myself, I bought this wine a couple of months back and recently it was Tasty Bits (I MISS YOU!) wife's birthday and the dad had enough sense to buy his daughter in law this fantastic bottle of wine.

Decanter rates it as a 5 star purchase, Robert Parker rates it at almost 98 -99. So I was expecting the shit. And it delivered. It was, how you say, more than meets the eye?

So for your eye only, this purple hued liquid was consumed in an hour. Not good I reckon. It should have been decanted for at least an hour. The finish is long, tannins are smooth and its sweet, and the longer it sat out, the better it tasted. I still think that this wine can sit for a few more years and you better drink it because it might become an eye sore.

I am not Robert Parker.
