I purchased one case of the 1999 of this wine by mistake (I had ordered
2009 but got delivered the 1999 instead).

We opened one bottle on wednesday 15th and we finished the bottle just
today... (kept in the fridge, just with the cork).

Wine was much better today than upon opening. Sometimes Muscadet sur
Lies can be pretty indestructible.

Congratulations on the publications!

I also got a case of the 2009 for future birthyears!
