Im not really a white wine drinker however on friday a weekly visit to Thuds to see the princess found me enjoying a 10 year old Pouilly Fuisse. This was the first vintage i had really had the pleasure of trying and as i very excited about it. The 1998 bottle had a very dark colour for a white which Thud suggested that it maybe past its best. The aroma had a very slight sweet smell to it but you could smell the age and i felt that alcohol over powered it slightly. In the tasting it had a deep taste with the reminance of sweetness and like the aroma the aftertaste was a little overpowering by the age, it didnt feel like a summer wine but a Christmas wine with a warm feel to it. The wine itself had gone past it best but still made enjoyable drinking.
Further to this while in town Yesterday i found a 2006 bottle of the same wine so i bought it to experience the wine in its drinking age.
