There was never a back label on that bottle. *shrug*

Too bad. Notice it says the style is 'suave'
It was meant for you.

I told you to stop buying Selosse at Costco.

So which disgorgement dates identify "on" bottles?

Ha ha.

Do you suffer from the disease where anyone who disagrees with your assessment of a wine must have had off bottles?

No. I recognize "off" bottles, myself (esp. of wines I usually love), and if someone doesn't like a wine I like, I scratch my head. Then I send them hate mail.

OK, so what is an "on" bottle from a producer from whom bottle variation is the norm. The establishment of norms and standards in such a case are extremely difficult.

Actually, you and I disagree about wines where I think all of the bottles have a flaw that I can't really live with (e.g. your beau, Herve).

It's not a flaw, it's a choice.

Some people don't like blue in their paintings, either.

Well, in a sense it is a choice, in the cave. But several of the wines are objectively flawed.

Now we can disagree on Rateau. You love the wines, I found them pretty mediocre. That is a disagreement. You like Damien Hirst, I think he's a pretender.

Must have been one of the good ones.

Charles, I didn't know you had the same birthday as my daughters! Most certainly not the same year...

And there's little hope that we'll even reach the point that their ages ADD UP to mine.

Well, I think we're assuming that bottle variation happens but not to such an extent that there can be no sense of a norm. I mean, say 20% of vigneron X's wines are "off." Can't we say that the other 80% is how the wine is "supposed" to taste?

Which?

That's not true. I don't love the wines. In fact, I thought we agreed on them entirely.

As for Damien Hirst, the jury's hanging.

Damien Hirst is the VLM of the British art world.

As for his being a fake, all artists are fakes. That's the fucking idea!
