Re: Wine and Politics
What Adrian said: people staying home buying wine at auction should help lift wine prices. For now as far as I see the risk of economic pain continues to be for those outside of the community of buyers of high-end wine (the type you would consign). When/if wine prices go down other traditional liqui...

Correct - the high note of pure distilled spirit, which I believe is grape brandy Indeed. However, at least I associate the term "brandy" with oak-aged grape-based spirits, so if a wine is showing a "brandy" character, it normally translates to having an aroma of, say, Cognac or...

Brandy component? Do you mean the spirit that is used to fortify the wine or something else? I've never had any brandy-like qualities in a Banyuls myself.

Banyuls: what do you all think
Last night popped a 1969 Mas Blanc Saint Martin Banyuls 375ml.
Nice sweet/dry contrast, quite lively, nice fruit qualities, good Christmas cake spice kaleidoscope - but the brandy component seemed out of balance/pronounced not integrated.
What’s your experience with Banyuls?

Is 1971 an off vintage in Bordeaux? Maybe not for those who know, but if say 15 years ago you had to rely on vintage guides like Parker when buying at auction you would think so. So instead of looking for 71s I was looking for 66s, 70s, 75s, 78s, 79s, 55s, 61s. Not that he liked all those vintages ...

There’s nothing like personal experience, Karl.

By doing that and op...
