What is quality?
The idea of quality is spoken about without knowledge of maximum quality. Maybe the category of maximum quality is not appreciated because it remains unknown, and one only speaks of that is understood. We use points of reference such as comparison and trends to understand quality. But if your point of reference is poor, your idea of quality will be mistaken.
Returning to the question: But what is the maximum quality in wine?
One must procure the best of each component which makes the final product. And the best of each phase. The best land, the best grape, the ideal moment to harvest, the most careful elaboration, the finest aging, the top cork… maybe the superior product is that which seeks the paramount of the sum of the parts.
But one thing is to talk about, and the other is to achieve it. This is what is invisible, and one must strive to obtain it.
