I'm drinking this Chateau Berrye 2003, a Saumur rouge made from cabernet franc, and my short tasting note would read out like this: A ruby red of medium intensity, very intense nose of wooden spices and red berries, palate has lot's of wooden tannins with medium high acidity as well as alcohol and a fruit forward style wine. A structured wine with interplay with fruit. A Modern Wine. Le vin moderne shortened to vin merde.
Is this valid anymore? Modern has been modern for ages. Should we move to post-modern wines which I would suggest the natural movement to be or define modernity again?
Speaking of which. I find going back to the roots like going back hundreds of years very modern in contemporary thinking about wine, food and life.
