I'm curious, are champagne's of this vintage generally either corked or generally fine....like how often have you tasted bottles somewhere in between? Like is it always obvious that it either is or isn't fit for drinking? I'm just curious if you've ever given up on a bottle after sitting with it in the glass for a bit... had a bottle of '64 Piper the other week that I just eventually gave up on, just too much soy/duck sauce one dimensionality
this is such an amazing great topic that I will do a video to answer it. but short answer i have had a lot of disappointments and i always prepare for them. now i have less, much less since I am very particular on what I'm buying. but the first one of these series that I record that is a complete dissapointment i will of course also record and share it. the bad bottles are a huge part of this obsession of mature champagnes and more of the mediocre bottles.. many people who drink them and share photos on internet have not experienced what is an actual perfect bottle and when they do they need to recalibrate their whole taste to adjust to the new reality. thank you so much for this question!!
