Last night, to accompany a dinner of larks' tongues in aspic, I decided
to open a bottle recently acquired from Bernie Madoff:

1947 Ch. Cheval Blanc St. Emilion
nose: Chanel No. 5, durian fruit, frankincense, myrrh, Panama Red
palate: an iron fist in a velvet glove, hedonistic liquid Viagra with a
6 hour finish

A phenomenal wine that gave no indication of its advanced age, the
screwcap was removed easily with Port tongs and a saber. The wine
itself was a startling pink-chartreuse in color with an ullage of 6 m.
It was decanted into our special purpose Riedel Premier Grand Cru Classé
St. Emilion decanter and provided an exquisite 35 seconds of pleasure.
Without question, this was the finest showing for this wine in my
experience.

After this memorable meal, we settled on a digestif of 2009 Mogen David
"MD 20/20" as the only appropriate accompaniment.

Namaste, Joe Beppe!

Either the date has something to do with this review, or some of your
students slipped some funny mushrooms in some of your food :-). I saw
another most amazing review of the new IE9 browser today. It is clamed
they are going to use Firefox code for it :-).

When I first saw the "review" I hoped you had tasted some 47 Cheval
Blanc, because I have a single bottle bought long ago at a price only
a tiny fraction of what the wine now likely sells for, and I hoped to
see some recent tasting notes.

All sounds a bit fishy to mee.

Hi Ian,
wouldn't the English expression be: "He is on a lark"?
Excuse this foreigner :-)

Aw, what gave it away? :P Frankly, I think that my spoof was more
believable.

Sorry to not be able to offer any insight. What I can offer in its
stead is this: the next time I am in your area, I will let you know and
offer to come over to assist you in opening and trying your bottle. How
does that sound? ;-)

Altruistically yours,
Mark Lipton

Fabulous Mark, glad you enjoyed it. I really love those fresh durian
notes in mature reds. ;-)

You're referencing durian fruit as a positive flavor?? :-)

Think there is a lol in there somewhere to include Panama Red flavors.
Think we have a troll here.
