- -Matt- - 09-04-2002 I have some bottles of wine that I've brought with me from France - mostly Bordeaux. I'm curious to know when these wines will be at their best - can anyone help me out? I've poked around a bit on the boards here and if I understand correctly, then it's going to depend on the quality of each individual wine as well as the storage of the bottles - is this correct? Anything to add to this? How would I go about judging the lifetime of my bottles then? I guess I could post a list to a board here, but is there some other resource for checking up on these? Thanks, Matt - Kcwhippet - 09-04-2002 Besides knowing which particular wines and how they've been stored, it would also help to know the vintage. With those three criteria, we could probably give you a fairly good idea on the longevity of your wines. If the list is too long, however, it could become a major research project. You might start yourself by checking the Bordeaux thread and going back a year or so to see if any of your wines show up. |
