High alcohol wines and aging
We opened a Clos st Jean CDP 2016 yesterday and it was the most alcoholic wine I may have ever tasted. Kind of bummed we have 3 more of these.
My CT Review:
In the mountains of Colorado, they have a party rig called a shot-ski (pronounces “shotsky”) where they have a ski with holes in it that they place shot glasses. This wine would be a good choice for said shot glasses given the amount of alcohol it has.
16% ABV and you feel it as it goes down. Maybe things will get better as it ages or maybe it’s for people who enjoy rubbing alcohol smells on the nose and punch to the throat on the pallet.
The above is largely hyperbole. TL;DR The wine is too alcoholic at this point. Not for me.
————-
My questions are:
is this a style that I just don’t appreciate but others do?
what happens to the burn as the wine ages? The nose? Right now it’s dominated by the alcohol.

Before, I, too, always thought about what expensive wine I should drink and so on. And then, I started drinking a bottle of wine daily and realized that I couldn't live without it. Then I learned about medical detox from this article -- https://fherehab.com/detox/, and decided it would help clean my body. I would finally get rid of alcohol. And so it happened. This detox helped me a lot. I am writing to say that if you like to drink alcohol, always do it with a measure because you can get used to drinking alcohol daily, and then your life is over.

After I was able to understand what it was, I signed up for rehabilitation at the clinic.
