Written Notes

The Punisher was actually a surprise guest. He was invited, but his way of confirming was ‘what time?’ I now know better. He was accordingly and mercifully left off the email chain before dinner; I am sure Big Mike would have gladly traded places. Thankfully, The Punisher always has at least two bottles and two magnums on him, one of which was the 1986 Domaine Leflaive Batard Montrachet, in magnum. It had typical 1986 to it, with sweet corn and honey oozing from its nose, make that candy corn. Its palate was rich and sweet with more honey. It had a mature finish; this wine was on a plateau, but it wasn’t going anywhere anytime soon, at least out of magnum (95M).
