  The drinking window as listed on this site is only until 2022. Do you feel that number is in the ballpark or is the drinking window longer than that? Thanks Dave

  8/9/19, 1:29 PM - I think it is accurate. My preferences for pinot wines (both France and US) is to hold for about 10-12 years, then try them, because the site/soil components have matured and stepped forward, making them more in balance with the initial fruit. I know French burgundies on sites such as CT and professional review sites state they can age longer than the American pinots, but I would be hard pressed to age pinots more than 15 years. All the development I want from this wines seems to have occurred by then.

  Regarding “but I would be hard pressed to age pinots more than 15 years.”
  First I have been drinking wine for over 45 years however mostly cabs and Bordeaux. Burgundy rarely.
  
  So-I found your comment most interesting and helpful. This frees me to buy Burgundy and not have to worry about resting those bottles in my cellar for a long period of time as some sites suggest. Thanks again-Dave
