Cupinero 2004 Merlot

This was described to me as a Super Tuscan.
You would (probably) call it a Merlot.

Cupinero is a relatively new vineyard in the region, and they're not very large, but Paolo recommended them highly.
And of course 2004 is a good year...

It was nice.
(not shining praise, I know)

Danny liked it alot. I think it probably needed to breathe for longer then we let it.
It was very dry, but also extremely light for a red wine. Not much bouquet, although that may have more to do with the fact that we didn't let it sit properly beforehand. The color, though - like garnets. Gorgeous. A dark, rich garnet red. And the bottle looks well, I won't lie.

I think I just preferred the Chianti Classico.
(yes, I swear I'll get that name eventually)



And I would just like to say - because I know that Dory thinks differently, that I did not go drunk to cabaret. I had one glass of wine over a period of like 45 minutes.
Leave me alone.

And, yes, Tramonto, if I had to check in with one word,
tonight it would be Resentful.
Because I think it's bullshit when you say that Secret Friends is about "The Craft".


I finally washed my laundry.
I need to hang it up to dry and go to bed, since I'm not going to sleep until I get back from Londra.


Breathe it in, Breathe it out!
((fuck that))
