What’s your saddest wine story? First time drinking DRC and it was cooked 😢
So I think most of us unfortunately know the feeling when we open a bottle of wine we were looking forward to drinking for months or even years to find out it suffered heat damage (last bottle that happened to me was a 1986 Chateau Rauzan Segla I opened on my birthday).
But that’s nothing compared to last summer when a good friend of mine opened a bottle of 2005 Romanée St. Vivant and we found out it was cooked. That was my saddest wine moment so far. You could taste that it was once a great wine but it was a really sad moment.
What was your saddest moment with a cooked bottle?
