Alcohol Percentage

[winoweenie]

Brapster you've asked a perfectly legitimate question. The one thing I'll say is when alcohol % overshadows the balance of the wine you should see it in the tasting notes of the poster. It certainly is no harbinger of quality. Outside of Ports and other dessert wines, I've found high alcohol juices to tend toward imbalance with aging more easily than medium to low alcohol ones. As the fruit softens the alc stays the same. Just my thots on the subject. WW
