You will learn some things this way. One of them will likely be that great Rhone wines show their best at 15+ years after vintage date. Once you've learned that, you won't be down to your last bottle of a wine before it's reached its prime. You'll learn from your tasting and see which wines are mistakes to open too early and you'll learn from your mistakes. That's a definition of intelligence. Good luck with this learning process.
Great! Onwards and forwards then! |

I have always wanted a bottle or two of this. Your post didn't help. Someone talk me out of it. Yes, I am aware I was complaining about the price of Chave Hermitage Blanc in another thread). Should I do it?? |
