Alcohol Percentage

[winoweenie]

Brapster the point I was trying to make and will still try is BALANCE. If a high alky wine is also endowed with massive fruit and good acidity it is a canidate for ageing. I've had hundreds of bottles of 50s' and 60s' wines from Martini, Inglenook, and B.V. that were in the 12% range that aged their patooties off. I've had some Boprdeauxs from the same years that had the same alc but fell apart in 3-5 because of their balance.Alcohol by itself has no determination of a wines ability to age. WW
