Description
The World of Fine Wine Issue #78 is a quarterly wine journal running to 226 pages.
Restraint and excess both get a hearing. Stuart Walton looks back at the sumptuary laws that tried to legislate against conspicuous consumption; Harry Eyres takes on minerality and concludes it may have to be lived with undefined; Simon J Woolf makes the case for Slovakia as cool climate becomes the thing everyone chases. Terry Theise writes about returning to his European growers after three years away. On the tasting side, Simon Field MW works through a decade of Quinta do Noval and Nacional, Ken Gargett reaches Penfolds Bin 60A 1962, and Jasper Morris MW delivers his verdict on 2018 Burgundy.
The 2018 Burgundy report is what most buyers will come for. Beyond it, the issue suits readers who enjoy a journal willing to spend several thousand words arguing about a single word like minerality, and to make no apology for doing so.
