BV Georges de Latour Struts its Stuff
Well I was able to get a small sample of the 2002 BV Georges de Latour -
Just imagine a grown woman going around with tiny test tubes....Got Wine?
Emmy wines. THE EMMYS
This 2002 BV will be opened at the Governor's Ball for the Emmy's. Of course, my compadre A. Zabayoni thought this wine should be looked at.....
And what did I see? Some of the same slender structures as in older BV GLT... what does that mean? Who knows except - none of those structures were in the delicious 2002 Sterling Coastal Coast Merlot.
I don't know how delicious the 2002 BV was since I only got a 'thimble full' - the amount needed to photograph. .
How does this help you learn about or enjoy wine? It gives a picture for an experience. A picture is worth a thousand words.
When I first started drinking wine I never understood the descriptions on the label - briary, leather, tar, bold, seductive..... When the first winemaker I worked with, Theo Rosenbrand, said a portrait looked like his wine tasted, the idea blinked on - maybe the images would help me as visual symbols of my experience even if I couldn't name it. I'm better now but not much....

This is a blog that looks at the 'inner life' of wine using the microscopic portraits of wine. Sounds strange EXCEPT this inner look gives us some clues to the structure and tasting experience of wine.
Besides that it gives me talking points to discuss wine, life, ideas on language and wine, and the mystical qualities. And who would have thought the inside look of wine would show such beauty?
