You heard me: 1999. I had 3 bottles from a move a long time ago. I drank 1 a couple of years ago it wasn't bad. It was fuller, richer tasting than I thought it would be.
I wasn't so lucky this year.
My first clue that I was too late was the orange wine inside the glass. It wasn't just a deep gold. It was ORANGE. I should have taken a picture of the glass of wine. No worries. I have that one other bottle. I may save that for a demo. I will take that picture. I have never seen orange wine.
It had a vinegary tartness in the nose and yes, on the tongue. I did take a sip just to test, which I promptly spit out. Definitely gone. Gone! This is one reason I am using this summer to clear out the accumulated white wines from who knows when and where. That and the consistent heat.
I have been enjoying wine but I have not been taking great notes, or even good notes or even notes that I can find. I hope this will fix some of that. The great thing about a blog is that it can have a picture of the label. I don't know about you but a visual helps me remember the bottle a lot better.
