I have five 750s left of a six-pack purchased on release. I drank one bottle about 10 years ago, and it was uninspiring. I decided that the best hope for the remaining five was to let them age, and I have not been tempted to open another one since. Based on your note, I guess I’ll just keep ignoring them.
I mean, it was definitely claret, but just nowhere near the experience I had from 86 Sociando the night before. I know there’s an age gap but it was night/day and I figured the smaller bottle might make some difference.
Michael we ended up popping this anyway. I think our bottle showed better, but totally eclipsed by a 96 that I had last month. Would give 3-5 years for my next bottle.
