  6/27/18, 9:30 PM - Hi. It was a test bottle. Was going to get more if it was good but guess not. Had the 02 Pousse volnay bousse last year and it was delicious so thought the 60 Ouvrees be equally good if not better

  That said, the 2002 you gave 15 years, whilst this only had 8. I do believe this could be a cracking wine in another 7 years (2025+ period)
