A very pleasant chardonnay. Which I write with a touch of condescension.
Imagine a science fair event: Take an inexpensive not-very-palatable chardonnay as a constant. Let’s arbitrarily call the constant Lynn Deeman. And let’s say someone was able to chemically alter the constant to make something more palatable. Something drinkable and very much like a better wine but still not a better wine as such. Presto: Equus. (Peter Schaffer’s favourite quaff?) I would score it high on the skill but low on the presentation: A stinking 14.8 per cent alcohol. Cripes, whatever happened to 12 per cent white wine?
So, very pleasant, “periodic” moments of OK drinking, but nothing to warrant a letter to Scientific American.
