Nope, not Mr. Hanky. You'll note we had no Beaucastel, which would
have been the appropriate toast for him.

This 1991 BdM was significantly better than the 1997, though I was
thinking of the '97 when I ordered the uni dish. I remembered how well
the two went together. The magic was there again. It's a confirmed
good pairing.
