Description
Forget your WSET and Court of Master Sommelier approved tasting grids. The true test of a wine's quality is this - on its third day being open, pull into a roadside Best Western, pour generously into the hotel-provided plastic cup, and glug freely. Is it still dizzyingly, miraculously, outrageously complex, a mind-melting punch of vibrant fresh raspberry and strawberry, wet earth, crushed rose, and verdant herbs, met by bright acidity and a long, piercing finish? If the answer is yes, then a.) you've definitely got yourself a bottle of Camille Thiriet Rouge En La Place, made from 90 y/o Pinot in the Cote du Nuits and b.) I'd like to congratulate you on your good taste and even better fortune for snagging a bottle, as the production is ridiculously limited.
