My good friend Mark and I popped in to Jacobini for dessert (code for “more wine”) and moved on to the big guns. I say “guns”, there were two bottles opened but I had to leave to get home shortly after the first was finished.
I do like a good Bordeaux, and this one was not disappointing. Good on the nose and the palate, a great wine to finish the evening off!
