Cos d'Estournel, 2000. Presumably the year.

Unbelievably it seems to have bits in it. You don't get that with Tesco £4.99 specials.

Lucky you. The bits are because it's unfiltered: filtering is supposed to reduce the quality of the wine. (Too late) tip: leave the wine standing for a few hours before opening, so all the bits fall to the bottom.
2000 is one of the best years in Bordeaux of the last few decades. Cos is a second-growth, from the most northerly Bordeaux district of St Estephe. It's also one of the best-rated second growths.
So, what you're drinking probably costs more than the combined amount of what everyone else is up to on this thread.
You = fancy.

I'll be honest, I'm not drinking it. I just wanted to wind up [MENTION=27447]Goldstone1976[/MENTION], but he can't be arsed to be online.

I'm actually drinking some plonk from co-op (no bits).

If hove born&bred ever turns up at your house and claims to have brought "something a bit special from my cellar", I suggest you dead-lock the door and call the police.

It sounds like a perfect Christmas dinner wine.

However in the absence of anything else in the house, and as I can't be bothered to pop down to Tesco, I'm going to guzzle it tonight.

Just starting a La Tache '78, following other stuff. [MENTION=28490]Machiavelli[/MENTION] will be unconcerned. Who cares what [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] thinks?

Did you buy that from Lidl per chance?

I ask having made my first ever visit this week (my son had a Beavers outing to Shoreham lifeboat station and I had a bit of time to kill) and I'm sure I spied it amongst their beers at what looked like a decent price.

It's what I tend to drink in The Cyclist, I think.

Am also learning about finding little gems in Lidl Shoreham on my way home from work. Have not yet attempted to buy anything quality (apart from the apple turnovers!) but you really can get an everyday guzzler for well under a fiver. Looking forward to testing a couple of the higher end offerings. Tonight is just glass or two of standard Aussie stuff........

Back on Old Rosie tonight. I'd like to say it's in honour of tomorrows opponents, but I'd be lying, I drink it all the time.

Good evening gentlemen.

Several pints of Boxcar lager at the Roundhouse where heavy drinking was obligatory at the Amon Amarth gig.
