Contrary to popular belief, a good year doesn’t necessarily indicate
a better wine.
A good year refers to the amount of sun the grapes received.
In such a year, the grape skin is thicker and there is a higher tannin content,
resulting in a dry taste and a full body. You should leave a wine like this
in the cellar.
|
A “bad year” simply means that there was a rainy summer and
you shouldn’t keep that wine in the cellar too long.
So it's all about the weather, and often during a summer,
even before harvesting the grapes, it is already clear if the wine
“year” will be a good one.
