Hello,
I go, I come back. I´ve been to South of France to investigate our very
modest apartment in Nice, and, on the way home (home as in Sweden) we
dropped by Chapoutier in Tain. We like Chapoutier, even though it´s big, and
suave, and sophisticated (we tend to prefer small family producers with a
sleeping dog in the parking place).
Anyway.
In the larder we found the Cote-Rotie 1997, which I proposed to buy for a
Special Celebration in 2007. Don´t, said the man. It will be off. It´s good
now, but in two years time, it will be past its prime.

Is this really so? I thought the Northern Rhone wines (C-R, H) had quite
good staying power. What says the group?

Cheers

Nils Gustaf
