there’s a musical
note
on the back
of her tongue
never sung
but it
tastes
like vintage
pauillac bordeaux
if you let
her
do the
talking

*The wines of Pauillac are rich,
full bodied and tannic, while gracefully combining elegance with power coupled
with complexity. They have the ability to age and evolve for decades. It
has been said the best Pauillac wines taste like “An iron fist in a velvet
glove.” The Wine Cellar Insider.
