Excellent cut through the spicy food, happy with food match. Thanks for notes. I don't have a lot of '04 Bdx, dollar was fairly weak against Euro when they were released and so they seemed expensive. I had a lot of '96-'01 claret and mostly sat out. But those I've tasted recently have been pretty good. |
