I’m too old to save wines for years…..😂. I’m fortunate enough to be able to try to find aged wines in the secondary market and drink quickly. I love screw caps for older wines. My wine app is pretty good at sharing a drinking window, though it is a bit too conservative, at least 65 % of the time it’s wrong. Great video!
1977 was a great year for the Talking Heads
I prefer to see younger wines on the list but certainly nothing younger than 2018-19. I enjoy buying Burgundy 2002-2015. I do buy younger Burgundy, but for aging.
Who would have thought Soave would have been the best wine out of that group. I have only had young expressions. I would have loved to taste the one you had. As always, great video. Thanks
Oh yes, of course I'm "guilty" of keeping particular bottles for a special occasion. 😇
Let me put this in context: My first tiny little steps into the wine world were guided by a friend who, as I found out later, is rather fond of tertiary notes. Learning from them, I felt inclined to keep my first better-quality bottles, but alas! the tiny stock made me end up drinking most of them young (you could say: too young). Then as stock grew, not only did the average hold time increase, but bottles came in 3 or 6 rather than single which enabled me to accompany their development and better hit the sweet spot. Then stock grew even further and the first bottles were clearly too far. This is when purchase rate slowed down significantly. 😄
Still, what you or I would consider "too far" may raise interest for others. I personally will not go after particularly old bottles even from great producers, and certainly not pay the extra buck. I will however happily try out an older bottle shared by someone, even when more often than not I found that an academic exercise rather that enjoyment. Anyone's mileage will vary.
I would order the Chianti 1977 (I drank a fabulous Brunello Banfi 1977 a few years ago).
