Ah Ha moment

[g-man]

On this past rainy saturday afternoon, my wife and I were about having pictures taken in central park.

There is a lovely section of the park called the conservatory with ivy vines entwined amongst a pavilion.

The rain, the dewey greeness, the wet woody ivy vegetation, a light cool breeze enveloped me with a familiar sensation, striking my nasal senses and connecting with the neurons in my brain.

AH HA, that is the classic DOW nose.

"Dear Mr Symington,

I have just discovered that your wine smells of rotten ivy.. "

[g-man]

heheh better than what would have been said to the Lynch bages family.

"Dear Mr Cazes.
There are times your wines smell like horsesh.t ..."

[Overtired and emotional]

Dow 77 has often been said to have a vegetal nose. Never saw it myself, but now we have proof!

I thought that this thread would be discussing the relative merits of "Take On Me" and "The Sun Always Shines On TV". I don't know whether to be relieved or disappointed.

I've noticed it before - it reminds me of chile relleno.

Vegetal - No likey...

Is that due to tartaric acid or lack of residual sugar? Vegetal notes are something I think detracts from port (and cigars).
