Been cleaning up an old paper stash and came across this:
“First year and hell of a wine. Like Vintage Port. Perhaps slightly overdone, but impressive…
A modern interpretation of an ancient style of wine. Don’t ask the price, which will be out of this world.”
JS - Chateau Bellvue-Mondotte, St Emilion, 2001I have a couple of comments and complaints about this. First, “Vintage Port” is a good thing…for Port. Not for this wine.
Second, it’s not a Roman wine so not sure how “ancient” it is. Third, sadly I won’t ever be asking the price with a warning like this.
So many warning lights flashing!
