Wonderful piece…I find that age worthy quality wines tend to be good all the time. Even young grand cru burgundy opened 3-5 years from vintage can be quite enjoyable when given a lot of air with the appropriate expectations. If anything, buying Mutiple bottles is key to both checking the evolution and honing your individualized palate/taste preferences.
The final point stayed with me: the cost of opening a bottle slightly early is usually lower than the cost of waiting until it has faded. I wonder whether Burgundy collectors sometimes overvalue patience because cellaring itself has become part of what signals seriousness.
