Back
Head-spinning... smooth... full-bodied... noble... lively... powerful... tannic... easy to drink... full of panache... round and full... supple and slightly velvety...
All this to say, in fact: "Ha! This Mouton Rothschild has balls!" Don't you find this lack of modesty inappropriate?
Jean-Claude Vrinat of the Taillevent Restaurant in Paris recounts: Louis de Funès was one of our loyal customers; he used to say to my father, with his inimitable mimicry: "Boss, like last time, give me a wine with balls!"
André Malraux, who was having lunch at a neighbouring table one day, grumbled: "Bold, bold... There are plenty of other adjectives than this one to describe a wine; he should consult the Petit Robert or, failing that, the Larousse Illustré!"
The author of La Condition Humaine could not have imagined that, thirty years later, "couillu" would make its appearance in Le Petit Robert.
