and about a mile or so from here (not my photos)

Since drinking and driving don't go together, I stick to drinking.

It's a cuvée of Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon, 14 months in barrique. Have opened only one bottle of these and quite a while ago. I noted a strong "oily" film on the glass, indicating the heavy character of the Tempranillo. The Cabernet S. gives it more character.

Of course the La Fleur is easily 2 classes above the rest. It has a sensational nose and made every other wine I'd had until then seem like a can of Coke. Brought it home from Paris.
