gouges

[Jay Miller]

A spectacular 1996 Drouhin Musigny a few years back led me to revise my previously iffy opinions of the vintage. Some 1996 Drouhin Beaune Greves more recently were pretty well shut down. Go figure.

I've also had vg Gruenhauser QbA.

somewhat annoying acidity which still isn't fully integrated.

Sounds added.

This is a remarked upon situation with a lot of '96 Red Burgundies today. Acidity sticking out, that is.

Not to mention 1996 German and Austrian rieslings.

What has offended you in Germany lately, from 1996 ? Abtsberg Spatlese is flawlessly balanced.

The 96s from Diel are terrific.

96 was a watershed in so many ways (in retrospect).

and i'm glad that we've gotten from burgundy to germany, as if it were where ma nature were leading us. it might even show that there is signal in all this noise.
