Drinking a birthyear wine (1/2). When you are born in 1983, birthyear wines, that are still a pleasure to drink, are hard to find. All wineregions that produce wines able to age, failed to produce some in this year. So drinking a birthyear wine became a bit of an obsession. Out of the books it became clear that the Nothern Rhone would be the best region to place my bets. Untill, by coincidence, Someone gave me a '83 Trévallon as a gift. Through their website I found out that Dürrbach considers this one of his best vintages ever made! Five years ago it was tasted by the domaine and they gave it another four to five years. What a surprise! Luckily the bottle I had was still in a good shape. Fragile but convincing taste, still a firm body, lots of tertiair aromas and even some fruitexpression. Mission accomplished!
