A Compact Guide for Aged Wine,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Michael Broadbent's Wine Vintages (Mitchell Beazley Wine Guides) (Hardcover)
In my opinion, most wines made today are crafted with immediate gratification in mind and/or ridiculous concentration. The problem? The wines will likely not transition to elegant and well balanced aged wines. This compact guide helps identify vintages from the past that are likely worthy of your attention and money. The book is in great condition and was delivered within the timeframe provided.
