Red Burg Lovers, Which Category of Drinker Are You?

[Peter_Chiu]

Having tasted a few of the 18 and 20s in barrel (and some of 19 in bottle) I think it’s not useful to call them “solar vintages”. I think that generally applies to 18, especially as many in burgundy weren’t prepared for it. The wines in 19 and 20 are different (and different from each other), and don’t lend themselves to such a a simple characterization. Neither of them are all that close to 2003, just like 2021 being cooler doesn’t make it a “classic” vintage for AFWE drinkers.

Merci…for your comments. I bought more 2019 than 2018.

So far I have not open wines from 2019 as they are just being released. Mostly like to will open some generic bourgonge in the fall.
