Thursday night dinner at my dad's house... Just three weeks from his 90th birthday, we're gonna have a big shindig, we'll have to pull out some of the good stuff.

Tonight... Let's get it on, baby.... Young Burgundy versus young "Bordeaux!"

Jadot going with the big heavy glass bottles now for its Ursules, that must mean it is good.

This Ursules seems like some pretty serious stuff.

Round 1 goes to the Jadot.
Youthful Burgundy mouth-puckeringness at first, but it is clearly a wine of depth and structure.
The Boddeaux a little slow out of the gate.

This really is no contest, the Jadot is in a different class.
Of course, the next bottle should be uncorked in about 25 years.
Great strength, structure, and complexity, best Jadot Clos des Ursules ever?

I'll also say this much, the 2010 La Fleur de Bouard is no 2009.

You have committed infanticide. I suggest you find yourself a good defense lawyer.

Just what I was thinking. Thanks for taking one for the team, but I hear that the Wine Police are on their way with a warrant. Be sure to prepare your defense for the lesser included charge of vinopedophilia. You might want to delete those photos of the 2-and 4-year old bottles.

I just did a child porn trial. The pictures are there forever. But, all you have to do is blame it on something called Tribler.

Just googled that. Not that I'd ever have the chops to be a criminal defense lawyer, but I would have a really tough time defending a child pornographer.
