Analysis of Colvecchio Syrah, 1995 (Banfi)
I don't call him "sweetie" anymore.
The sign of a good red, he said,
is that it doesn't break apart,
when you pair it with food.
This is a very cohesive red, he said.
With notes of licorice, he added.
He has taught me how to find pleasure.
Where, too.
I am like this red. Very cohesive
even under pressure. Finally.
I even do not break apart.
Even though I do not call him
"sweetie" anymore.
