I have so far been a very good boy and loyally reported and reviewed almost all the wines I was shown at tastings.
As we know, not all wines are good, and not all wines are interesting. Frankly, it’s a pain to review wines that I would not wholeheartedly recommend, and then explain why you should buy another instead.
Vins d’emotion that merit hearts will always be mentioned; they are clearly recommended. Going forward, however, wines of less interest and quality can or may be omitted from the report, or perhaps merely mentioned with a simple score.
This is a simple but important editorial change, to provide more focus on the vin d’emotion concept, as these are the wines that I fully recommend.
The omitted wines are not necessarily bad, poor, or even average. However, with the price of Burgundy wine, why search for less than a vin d’emotion? We are here for pleasure and hedonistic joy!
I recommend wines…
…hence I will not list omitted wines.
This change will be marked with the note below, which will be included in the next reviews published.
Only wines of interest, and mainly those that are recommended, are included in this tasting report.
- A true vin d’émotion – a Burgundy of passion
- A truly hedonistic wine – lively and enjoyable
- A vivacious wine for pure indulgance
- A Vin Vif - fresh, energetic and with a light appearance
Dear Steen,
Happy New Year to you, whilst I appreciate partly what you are trying to achieve here, I think it’s incredibly important for readers like me to understand and appreciate what wines you have tasted but do not recommend.
Omitting them completely from your reports will leave us guessing on whether you did not taste a certain wine or did taste it and do not recommend it.
Even if its a simple line which states “other wines tasted ….” and a list of such wines that might suffice. When I am making my wine purchasing decision it is as important for me to know what you didn’t like as much as what you did.
Hope you appreciate the point I am trying to make.
Kind regards,
Keyur
