Opened a 2007 Domaine Jean-Marc Pillot Chevalier-Montrachet last night, lovingly cellared since release. Poured out glistening, with a fresh green tinge. Smelt of a wet hessian, wet dog and other tca things.
But was the cork tight like a camel’s ass in a sandstorm?
That is a true shame. Such a fabulous wine if not corked.
LOL
Did we reach a consensus on level of tightness? Like is a shark tighter than a camel?
Sorry to hear about the Chevy Jeremy.
Where does a frog’s arse fall on the scale? It has to be pretty near the top, or the phrase “Is a frog’s arse watertight?” wouldn’t exist.
Does size matter? (I’ve heard it does…) how about an ant…they’re already pretty small.
Tighter than a Grenouilles’ Butteaux!
You know, I don’t know much french, but I know more than I want to about frogs.
But despite the TCA, didn’t you still appreciate the tradition, history and romance of the cork?
