I fell today on a text of American blogger Alder Yarrow, reacting to another text of Matt Kramer Wine Spectator about what makes a wine worth to be kept (see links). As much as I liked Yarrow response by its mundane side based on first-hand experience. Both the text Kramer, as is often the case when it comes to what makes a wine, I thought how in soft focus, incident investigation form seasoned with a bit of pretension and ignorance. I say ignorance, because it seems that Mr. Kramer does not often puts little known wines aside. I do not doubt his expertise to guard renowned wines, but for wines that are trying to make a name, or even for those who do not have this claim, experience seems very limited and, therefore, its hazardous incident investigation form analysis. In my opinion there is nothing more difficult to predict incident investigation form the aging potential of a wine when it ignores the identity. On the contrary, when it knows the identity, it takes over the wine itself to determine its aging potential. Unfortunately, with the many technical changes that have been introduced in recent years in winemaking, even the history of the renowned names can not be used as infallible guide. The problems of premature oxidation white Burgundies are a good example. Also, the whole argument of Mr. Kramer about the potential of transformation, incident investigation form from the endurance capacity, seems to me to thinking-made, the cliché. Contrary to what he says, all wines are transformed with age. What varies is the processing time and the quality of the result. Wines that do not change aromatic and structural level, then dying spontaneously. It does not exist. Which are, however, these are wines that turn for the worse, more or less rapidly. That said, the best way to know the aging potential of wines that arouse our interest, it is still to take the risk to keep them. There is no substitute for that. However, do not keep wine in mind that at the end of the process there will necessarily be an extraordinary revelation. What is interesting in the custody of the wine is the process, including incident investigation form the variability of results over time. What is interesting, as mentioned Alder Yarrow, is to follow the wine in time. Personally, what I like to do is to buy several bottles of the same wine, at least four bottles, and even a full case for wines that seem to me the best buys. Then the fun is to open bottles with longer or shorter intervals, depending on the quality of the results obtained in the road, the speed of evolution, and the number of bottles purchased. This approach adds an intellectual pleasure of sensual pleasure, besides giving wines with profiles that only custody can provide. In my case, since my interest in affordable wines, little known country, which I consider to QPR strong. Another fun addition in the child process, which is to make discoveries by going where few fans will. Select a renowned wine for custody of course. There is no particular merit in doing so, except perhaps that of having the taste and patience to do so. But bet to guard over an unrecognized wine for such an application, it brings real satisfaction when the gamble is happy. It develops a personal feeling about the wines of this type we have chosen. These become somehow our creation. Because without having the audacity to put aside these unlikely wines would never have happened. They would never have existed. incident investigation form They would have been before bus. In conclusion, I would say do not be afraid to keep bottles affordable prices. However, we must select candidates. There are more affordable wines worth the trouble of being kept than the experts say like Matt Kramer. Do the exercise. You'll see I'm right. http://www.vinography.com/archives/2010/08/the_mysteries_of_time_and_wine.html http://www.winespectator.com/webfeature/show?id=43281 *

I liked the comment of one respondent on the link Vinography, Steve, incident investigation form who said that if he had relied only large numbers of supposed experts, he would have missed a great experience to see that, Following incident investigation form the purchase of several incident investigation form bottles;
