Speaking of cork taint...
I had lunch this week with an old friend and long time Napa vintner
who shall remain nameless. I brought along a bottle to share of 1976 BV Georges De Latour Private Reserve Cabernet that was in terrific shape yet badly corked. After a twenty minute lecture on from the vintner on how far natural corks have come since the 70's, I brought forth a bottle of his own winery's top level Cabernet from the 1997 vintage to open and share with him......it was badly corked. Red faced he graciously offered to send me a replacement from his library which I just recieved. |
