Should I drink it?

Recently it was a «Burgundy-release» here in Norway.

I don't have that much interest (and surely not much knowledge about fine wines as many of you will understand), but my dear wify quite surprisingly came home with this the other day.

I felt lucky and thought – tonight we shall share some good wine» smile

But studying the wine more closely, I understand only 12 bottles made it to Norway and even fewer to the local shop. So, by pure coincidence we happen to get this.

YES, many other Burgundy Grand Cru wines were released at the same time, some at price levels levels approaching “Rolex levels”.

This Premier wine is not that pricy so this is not really about it’s price BUT what (positively) annoys me is that it’s some kind of Limited Edition 2020 model – only 12 bottles arriving here.

Is it really "limited forever" by this release?

If it were a LE watch I would have 100% control of what I would do, haha smile But not with wine.

The recommendation by the local distributor is “Can be consumed now, but will benefit from storage”.

Should I keep it...if so for how long? 2 Years…5...or end it soon - you see, I have no idea smile





Thanks and all the very best,

Bent

Pinots are meant to be drunk young but the NSGs will benefit from some cellaring. Agree as a rule of thumb 5-15 years in general. Won’t be wrong to drink earlier or later depends on your preference (less fruit more tertiary flavors and softer tannins or y...
