4/29/24, 8:09 PM - I suspect that should be drinking beautifully now!
1/18/23, 7:30 PM - You’re right - 13 year old!
7/5/22, 3:52 AM - Thanks Mike - great, insightful comment!
11/2/21, 3:38 PM - Haha - thanks for the spot. Have amended!
8/6/21, 7:00 AM - Popped and poured - great right off the bat!
12/22/20, 4:54 PM - Hi Matt, I would treat with care - stand the bottle up a couple of hours before, pop maybe an hour before serving, pour out a little and let the wine slow-o in the bottle and for funk to blow off. After that, let it develop in the glass.YMMV though - with bottles at this age especially.
6/2/20, 1:21 AM - Thanks!
5/26/20, 4:38 PM - No decant for this, just sat in an open bottle for an hour or so - I think it would have benefitted from a bit more air actually.
1/7/20, 10:16 PM - Hi Rolf- afraid that I lost my notes stating the disgorgement dates. If it helps, my favourite from each trio of VO and Substance were those with the most bottle age.
10/5/19, 8:46 AM - Hi - I have had a few bottles with varying results. From what I have drank, I would suggest a quick half-hour to 45 minute decant before serving
7/14/19, 4:52 AM - Hi - not one I would hold for long. Better for short term drinking.
2/17/19, 7:57 PM - Thanks! Very helpful clarification!
4/22/18, 6:19 PM - Would suggest a decent before serving - it really opened up after a couple of hours in the bottle
9/22/15, 8:14 PM - Hi there - I really cannot recall unfortunately! 6 years back now
5/18/15, 12:56 AM - Very different - altogether a crisper style. The vintage Cuvee Rare is very good.
5/1/15, 7:22 PM - We had this a long, long time ago - not sure how well the wine would have held up over the years. I would suggest standing it up for an hour or so, opening it, tasting to see how it is and then deciding whether to let it sit in an open bottle for awhile or to open up in the glasses.
12/8/14, 5:13 PM - Thanks for the comments guys. The bottle was in great shape - and from the same case another really superb one I had earlier in the year. Variation indeed.
9/26/14, 3:58 AM - Hi there - we only decanted for sediment just before serving. It needed some time to get going though, but with wines this age, better to let that happen slowly in the glass.
3/26/14, 5:19 PM - I would say try it in another 5-6 years. It will be an earlier drinking CFE.
2/20/14, 7:11 PM - Thanks Burgundy Al - probably it, but this had stranger, high-toned smells than most bretty wines I have had
10/2/13, 6:44 AM - Looking forward to that!
9/30/13, 2:09 AM - Thanks for the valuable comments. Let me know if you do pop the 2002 Krug!
2/27/10, 8:20 PM - Hi, just wondering - did you find the wine anywhere near ready to drink? Or would you have waited a few more years before popping it?
Thanks for letting us know about this problem. We will review your comments and be in touch soon with an update.
