I, typically don’t age these more than 5 years so still drinking some '13 though most gone. I have to agree that '14 was good '15 better and '16 not so good. As to waiting to see, they generally keep but don’t improve much so if it is not so good on release, it is unlikely to get better.

Still working through my '02’s…great stuff!

Lucky. I only have about 2 or 3 '02s and '04s left.

I don’t get to drink much aged Muscadet. But good aged ones were so good to me that they didn’t at all taste like what fresh Muscadet taste like (which I already like and which drink plenty of). Case in point, this 1989 Le L d’Or (thanks again, Jay), that we drank with many other good whites and terrific old-school Right Bank Bordeaux. This Muscadet was running for one of my wines of the night.

The 1989 L d’Or is a truly special Muscadet. I’m down to my last bottle or two, and will have a lot of regrets when they are gone.
