Held Too Long

[Innkeeper]

Guess we were both guilty of using the term "wine" too genericly. Agree that some such as practically all Brunellos, and most Piedmontese and Upper Rhones can be safely aged for long periods. However, we have become very concerned about most of the Bordeaux and their Californian cousins being made today. Because of the demands of the Nouveau Riche, a lot if not most of these wines are being made for consumption on release, and many more than in the past simply do not age well at all.
