The '08 Xiaguan FT mushroom was, as always, scrumptious. The '06 CNNP 5961 didn't fare nearly as well- completely flat. In fairness, I should revisit it on a day when I hadn't already consumed one of my favorites, though it may not fare any better.
You'd think I wouldn't be thirsty at this point, but I treated myself to one of my two remaining '86 Moutons, pictured in the center.
100 points by any standards. 1986 was magnificent for Paulliac in general, and the big boys did extremely well. This wine required the simplest of food- grilled chicken and potatoes. It's not often that I have the opportunity to enjoy a great one any more.
What can I say? Man does not live by pu'er alone.
I am not a wine drinker. I am allergic to alcohol but those bottles invoke a great curisocity in me. Those must cost a fortune. You're really living life, sir!
