2023 `TYDY’ Sauvignon Blanc IGP Val de Loire, TYDY, France

Original price was: £13.50.Current price is: £11.00. inc. VAT

Thierry Delaunay TYDY 2023 is pale yellow in colour with youthful hints with a very expressive nose, this wine marries notes of grapefruit, pear and fresh lime with a subtle touch of tropical fruit. These bright fruit aromas are mirrored on the palate which is round and framed by a delicate touch of sweetness.

The 2023 vintage began with a cool and relatively rainy winter which replenished soil water reserves after the hot and dry 2022 vintage. The vineyards largely escaped the threat of spring frosts and flowering and fruit set took place under excellent dry and sunny conditions. It was very dry during July and August and some welcome showers arrived in September and gave the vines a necessary boost to complete the final stages of ripening. The harvest began in mid-September and the quality of the fruit was excellent.

The nose is bold and expressive, offering layers of cedar, charcoal, balsamic notes, black cherry, and a hint of oil. On the palate, it begins with the powerful, textured mouthfeel of Mourvèdre, then gently relaxes before unfolding with an explosion of vibrant primary fruit flavors, complemented by rich kirsch and cassis liqueur notes. A savory and serious wine, it boasts finely integrated tannins that are firmly structured yet never overpowering. The finish is heady, remarkably long, and smooth, leaving a lingering, mouthwatering sensation. While immediately inviting, this wine is also crafted for the long term, showcasing both elegance and impressive depth. It’s a truly remarkable and compelling expression.

However, the abundance of water allowed the vines to grow luxuriously and production was abundant.

No Fine Print 2022 is a delicious balance of fruit-forward ripeness and fresh acidity. This wine has a bright, black fruit character along with a rich, round mouthfeel.

Overall, yields were slightly down, but concentration was very good.

Chances are there wasn't collaboration, communication, and checkpoints, there wasn't a process agreed upon or specified with the granularity required. It's content strategy gone awry right from the start. Forswearing the use of Lorem Ipsum wouldn't have helped, won't help now. It's like saying you're a bad designer, use less bold text, don't use italics in every other paragraph. True enough, but that's not all that it takes to get things back on track.

The villagers are out there with a vengeance to get that Frankenstein

You made all the required mock ups for commissioned layout, got all the approvals, built a tested code base or had them built, you decided on a content management system, got a license for it or adapted:

  • The toppings you may chose for that TV dinner pizza slice when you forgot to shop for foods, the paint you may slap on your face to impress the new boss is your business.
  • But what about your daily bread? Design comps, layouts, wireframes—will your clients accept that you go about things the facile way?
  • Authorities in our business will tell in no uncertain terms that Lorem Ipsum is that huge, huge no no to forswear forever.
  • Not so fast, I'd say, there are some redeeming factors in favor of greeking text, as its use is merely the symptom of a worse problem to take into consideration.
  • Websites in professional use templating systems.
  • Commercial publishing platforms and content management systems ensure that you can show different text, different data using the same template.
  • When it's about controlling hundreds of articles, product pages for web shops, or user profiles in social networks, all of them potentially with different sizes, formats, rules for differing elements things can break, designs agreed upon can have unintended consequences and look much different than expected.

This is quite a problem to solve, but just doing without greeking text won't fix it. Using test items of real content and data in designs will help, but there's no guarantee that every oddity will be found and corrected. Do you want to be sure? Then a prototype or beta site with real content published from the real CMS is needed—but you’re not going that far until you go through an initial design cycle.
