Sorry Jack and Lum,
But, I don't think that study proves anything. It does not take into
account aging unfiltered vs aging filtered. Don't get me wrong, I'm
not promoting unfiltered wines, nor promoting filtering, I think each
has it's place depending on wine style, but that study is just plain
flawed. It doesn't match what would happen to a wine based on the
decision to filter or not.
If I take a bottle of '82 Lafite and filter half of it now, no, I
wouldn't expect to taste a difference between the filtered and
unfiltered wine, but would the wine be the same if the wine maker had
decided to filter it 20 years ago?
The world may never know.
Andy
