But not, perhaps, quite as much as Grippat's cherries. As for jasper, I can't recall that wine at all. But then I have always struggled to remember much after meeting jasper.

His fig tree by the rear entrance to the cellar had some tasty figs on it. Such happy memories. Perhaps the visit to Foreau featured better wines, but to meet Gaston Huet, crikey! I trust you also remember the sparkling Vouvray from the 1960s that Jasper Morris brought along to an Oxford Wine Circle event. That is what taught me these things are great when they are old.

Why would Vouvray not age? Surely it has the vital components necessary for long life? I would imagine it would get very honeyed.
