The Wine and Me | Jean-Francois Dupont

"The wine without any flaws on an analytical level exists, it is encountered more often than God, but like the latter, it doesn't mean it is good. Perfection doesn't necessarily mean sublimity. A slight vinous squint can transform something pleasant into nectar. A smooth wine can turn out to be boring, while a small tannic comeback at the finish, a slight bump on the roundness track, a hint of aggressiveness towards the end, an unexpected last-minute twist and there the surprised and satisfied drinker's palate is, ready to send an express request for a repeat to the elbow lifting service."
