In Reply to: RE: The last of my great wines for Christmas dinner ... posted by jeffrt on December 25, 2018 at 09:29:12
...I got married in 1982 and some friends gave us a bottle as a wedding gift.
I opened it on our 20th anniversary and it had gone bad.
Shame.
Follow Ups:
Shame. 20 years is as nothing for such a great wine, but it does need to be kept at constant temp and constant humidity to preserve it. It is a living thing, after all.
Mine turned out better than expected: dry finish, but I could see/taste/smell the intensity and richness with which it was bottled. I wish I has drunk it 15 - 20 years ago. I was afraid to drink wines such as this too young. So, many I wound up drinking far too old. Such is life.
...to drink it a little too young than a little too old.
I drink CA wines and my oldest now is 8 years - probably drink it in 2020.
My oldest California (not playing oneupsmanship here) is a 1964 David Bruce Carignane. It's more of an oddity right now, more than anything else.
...I think of him as Santa Cruz mountains and pinot noir.
In the late 70s and early 80s, Bruce also made some great Zinfandels, in my opinion, but my palate wasn't yet that sophisticated. Still may not be, but I do enjoy them still.
