“There are years that ask questions and years that answer,” Zora Neale Hurston famously once wrote. If Hurston had been a middling wine writer, she’d likely have added: “…and years that are Vintage of the Century.”
Good article and insight about the hype and malarkey regarding the every ubiquitous "Vintage of the Century." Vintage variation is a definitely a thing, but its the sales people in "those" regions that are always harping on this is the best vintage of the decade, century, etc.
