Salut-Hi Tom AZ,

Good to see you posting again.

A delightful wine, IMO. We tasted it at Domaine Drouhin themselves last fall, not long after meeting you both. As it happens, the day we were there, Jacquie & I had booked in at the Joel Palmer house, for a mushroom feast. Well, to cut a LONG story short, we were given the rest of the "Lauren" we'd tasted at the Domaine, so we took it straight down to the restaurant to be decanted and to await our arrival 4 hours later.

We thought we almost got a hint of eucalyptus.

Yup, that's more or less what we found, except that by the time we came to drink it, our bottle was beatifully opened, with the tannins well softened, and full of lovely PN characteristics.

By the way, do you happen to remember what those oysters were that we tasted with you in that Oyster bar near the market, and which we raved over? I keep trying to remember, but the name just doesn't come.
