Re: 2016 Vintages - what to buy and store
Thanks Andy. It's more than a bit confusing when different people give quite different scores.

Though I think I have understood the concept of bottle ageeing, Im u...

Re: 2016 Vintages - what to buy and store
I ended up buying a bottle of Niepoort Bioma 2016 Vintage, that just arrived where I live (Norway). So did Churchills 2016 Vintage, but I choose the Niepoort. Now my son can tell me in 2046 if that was a good choice

Re: 2016 VP's - Wed 12 September
