Question
I have come across a bottle of 1983 Chateau Grillet. Assuming good cellaring,
do you think this wine has any life left to it? Or is it likely beyond its "life"?
HI Jeff
This is a pretty famous wine...but 25 years is really pushing it. 1983 was a good but not great year, so unless this wine had amazingly good storage conditions for its whole life, I would guess that it is a bit past its prime. Still might be interesting and even tasty, but definitely on the downhill side of the curve.
