Its no top secret that I have a high tolerance for oak, and I think that the Grivot wines are splendid - like the 2009 Clod de Vougeot - http://barolista.blogspot.se/2013/04/tasting-dinner-with-stunning-food-wines.html and the 1990 Echezeaux - http://barolista.blogspot.se/2015/03/1990-echezeaux-tasting-dinner.html<br />And with oak, it recedes and integrates with time, like for example the 80´s and 90´s from Domenico Clerico - some think they are to oaky young (it is after all a free country, still...:-)) but no one could tell the oak regime on a1990 Pajana - a almost perfect wine - http://barolista.blogspot.se/2011/12/past-glorys-1990-barolo-tasting-dinner.html<br /><br />In Decanter, August 2015, there is an interesting article on Grivot and Meo-Camuzet, and in the article Etienne Grivot says he have reduced the amount of new oak from 80% to 40%, so soon you can appreciate these wines too...:-)Joakimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02689406695488368188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4790131826594329480.post-82554282779088482612015-08-28T23:17:33.600+02:002015-08-28T23:17:33.600+02:00Now we are on a discussion about "TASTE"...Now we are on a discussion about "TASTE".

However, this has a lot of year so please tell me what it is like, sir. :)Sir Galahadhttp://www.ultimatewinekick.comnoreply@blogger.com
