Our France reviewer William Kelley shares a few words about what goes into tasting an unfinished wine from barrel. There are many variables to consider, and here William touch on some of them and explain why it’s such a technical exercise...

Very good. Thanks for the rationale. Wisdom Hath Builded Her House. I drink what I consider expensive wines but will never drink some of the wines you drink. Envious. Petrus, Romanie Conti, I’ll never drink because it’s unaffordable for me. I’ll drink Rothschild, Margaux, Mouton, Haut Brion…but never the above $1500 range. I envy you and you are super knowledgeable. Keep up the good work.

Great insight, thanks William!
You speak a bit blurred so I had to churn up the volume to max to understand you fully.
I can't wait for the next instance of "Up from the cellar", I drink a lot of old wine, so I LOVE those tasting notes.
