TN: Sella Lessona

Dale, I've had several bottles of the '01 Lessona in years past and it's always been a top-notch performer. The bottles I've had were possibly mature, but certainly fresh and lively, too. Perhaps the additional year or two of storage has made the difference, or maybe the cork was just a tad less tightly sealed than some others. In any event, it sounds like the wine wasn't a disappointment. Interesting sounding duck preparation, too. Did Betsy use D'Artagnan breasts, or something more local?
