And then there's the wine

HABLA Number 01.  2005 Cabinet Sauvignon

Habla Number 01.  I weighed this thing and it clocked in at 1.8kgs.  The density of the glass being the weight.   Then there's the quality of the cork, with "No 1" ingrained.  There's a reason Spain doesn't go screw cap.  They have access to the best possible cork.  Again, keeping the best to themselves.  Admirable, but financially crippling.

Habla is from Extremadura.   This was a 2005 and being No 1 means their elite Cabernet Sauvignon  range.   It's daft, I know.  To keep a wine simply because it's prised.  At the end of day, it ain't gonna get much better.  Just drink it!  Which we did....last night, 49th bday.  It was as smooth as silk and a complete dream.
