A question which is often asked by wine lovers is when they should drink the wines they own.
The other day, I was drinking a glass of Sarget of Gruaud larose 2016, of which I have several bottles in my cellar. I would expect the wine to peak in a few more years. But how wrong I was ! It was good now.
I came to the following conclusion, if you taste a wine and you love it, don’t ask yourself if it will be even better in 5, 10 or 15 years. Drink it NOW. Yes it will evolve over the years, but it will also be different, and as will you. The wine might be too soft for your taste then. So don’t feel guilty for indulging rather than waiting a few more years, play it safe. Drink it NOW.
