videoWe Opened Four 30-Year-Old Australian Cabernets
What happens when four Australian Cabernet wines from the same vintage, stored in the same cellar for 30 years, are opened and tasted blind? In this episode of Got Somme, Angus O’Loughlin and Master Sommelier Carlos Santos taste a flight of 1996 Australian wines from four different states: New South Wales, Western Australia, Victoria and South Australia. The lineup includes two celebrated Australian producers and two lesser-known challengers. But when the bottles are revealed, reputation counts for nothing. Carlos explains how to store wine correctly, why old corks can disintegrate, how oxygen affects ageing and the signs that a mature wine may be approaching the end of its drinking window. The pair also explore the tobacco, cedar, leather, dried fruit and cigar-box characters that develop as Cabernet ages. Which Australian wine region produced the best-performing 1996 Cabernet? And should you open that old bottle sitting in your cellar before it is too late? Thank you to Mark Die
videoVisit to Cite du Vin, Bordeaux, France
The Cite du Vin is one of Bordeaux's most popular tourist attractions. Cite du Vin was opened in 2016 and it the most visited tourist attraction in Bordeaux. It is an interactive museum all about wine. It not only talks about Bordeaux wine but wines from all around the world and cover everything to do with wine including how it is made and how to smell wine. It is around 23 Euros for adult entry but I think it is worth it. You could spend anywhere from 2-5 hours there depending on how interested in you are in trying all the interactive exhibits. The museum visit ends on the rooftop where you get a free glass of wine and a stunning view of Bordeaux. For more information about this museum, please see their website at https://www.laciteduvin.com/en
