I suggested in a column some years ago that in general most white wines are best consumed young, after which a reader chastised me for ignoring what he said was my naivete.
He said great white Burgundies, great German rieslings and some Australian semillons were best after a decade or two. "I'm sure you have tasted great old White Burgundies," he wrote. "How could you ignore these glorious examples of wine at its best?"
