I had some 1999 Chinon white about a week ago, it was a close out so the
price was good and the wine though starting to fade a bit was a good QPR. I
went back and got the last three bottles. Lat night I opened one of the
three, almost a caramel color, well browner and yellower than before. this
time there was still some acidity to the wine but the apples and fresh
things had noticably been replaced by less sharpway softer, can a wine be
described as crumbly, it was as if it was disintegragting in the glass.
Hope the other two got a little nicer treatment along the line!
