Aged BORDEAUX, Cellaring, Opening, Tasting

Today's video is not only about uncorking and tasting an old bottle of Bordeaux, but I'll also take you through steps that'll help you get the most out of your aged wine. I'll also give you my suggestions on a couple of great choices to cellar away that won't set you back big dollars. For starters, every wine has its own lifecycle; some can be as short as just a year or two, others can extend out for decades. The focus here is on Bordeaux. An iconic go-to option for being plentiful, available at a wide range of price points, and, if chosen well, with a track record of longevity. It often comes down to choosing the right producer from strong vintages. Storage Good storage is vital, but it needn't be overly complicated. I have a refrigerated wine storage unit, but it could be a basement, crawl space, or any protected area with a cool, consistent temp, moderate humidity, minimal UV light, and away from vibration and strong odors.
