It's not too late!
The deadline for Fatboy's Festive Favorites was always New Year's Eve/Day.
Many of us live in hope, because it's all we have.

YABWTN +NFBFFsThe 05 Breton Chinon Beaumont was open and delicious this week, with some ripe fruit and a little dried herbs. Lively and easy to drink with good tannins. An ideal Chinon.
Nice. Will you be holding on to more of these? I always wondered how they aged in comparison to the other bottlings.

I've squirreled away a stash.

Well. The 2002 is drinking very well right now. I opened a 2004 last night, but it was reduced (neo-cork) so I moved on to something else. I'll check in tonight. Other bottles have been lovely.

Totally.
My bottle had a plastic cork, but more important is I like how it tastes now, so I will probably drink the other 2 bottles I own pretty soon.originally posted by Rahsaan:

I didn't squirrel away a big stash, only bought three bottles.

I don't see the paradox.

Neo-cork is more permeable than average bark. Should be oxidized over time, rather than reduced. Screwcaps have reduction problems, more typically.
Hmmm. Is it not neo-cork then? Maybe I am mistaking Brett for reduction.
