I bet this was fresher a few years ago. I have no experience with CdR at age 12. Thanks for the TN Life without wine?...... Yeah Right.

IMO, this was probably at peak two or three years ago. As it is, I found this bottle very recently at a UK retailer that has excellent storage conditions, and the bottle looked like it was in excellent shape, and the price was good, so I figured it would be a fun little experiment. I don't regret buying it (I believe the bottle was sound), but I wouldn't buy another one --- not even to drink tomorrow. | |||
