Paid $50 for this bottle. I feel like it tastes fruity and dry than others I have tried.
I keep noticing a trend where when I am on my third glass, the wine starts tasting way better than the first. I take the bottle from the fridge door, and decant it for thirty minutes. It is still more cold than how it should be served by then.
So, when I am on my third glass, it's usually when the wine has had over an hour to warm up from fridge temperatures, and breath. It does seem to have much more flavor at this point. However, I am also tipsy by then, so I figured that could have something to do with it as well.
I guess I have a lot to learn. I might start waiting to drink until it has been out of the fridge for an hour.

To answer your question: yes
Oh, I had it with a ribeye and some pasta I made the other day. White wine (maison chanzey les fortunés chardonnay 2024) butter sauce with mushrooms and gruyere. It is kind of like one step up from butter noodles, and really good with steak.
As Hugh Johnson once said, it wasn’t the notes of blueberries that interested the first wine drinkers, it was the effect.
Not really, wine get better as long as temperature increase, more you drink, more time goes, sooo
And brotha, what’s that ? Numa what? 50$ for a no name AOC bourgogne Im speechless, poor Americans 😂
Neither it’s both!!!!
Yes
Honestly, I personally don’t think so.
When I’m starting to get drunk at that point I’m not wanting to drink a decent wine, I feel it’s a waste. I do think flavour gets better the longer it’s opened, peaking the first and second days.
Maybe it’s just the wine is getting air as you are drinking.
Yes. Wine gets better and brighter as it breathes, and alcohol dulls your sense of taste.
You need to move to Wisconsin, my 12 year old handles 3 glasses of wine no problem.
*Alcohol: the more you drink, the better it tastes.*
Another minority position I have is that the more I drink, the more critical I become and will pour it out if I don’t like it. So I’ve learned “Sure, we can open another bottle… as long as it’s better than the last one.”
Yes
It really depends on the wine I’d say the more serious and complex the wine the more change you will see from oxidation. The tipsy thing may come into play but maybe because I’m old and a wine professional since 1992 but I can still evaluate wine critically with a buzz.
Found this bottle for €15 in The Netherlands. Not a great bottle at all
More research is required.
Time – It looks like you decanted that wine and placed the stopper. Like others said when starting with some good wine, mediocre wine’s flaws are amplified, IMO. Is that Princess House crystal? We have an identical set that we received as a wedding gift.

Don’t ignore the impact of your mouth adjusting to the tanins, which plays a large role for me
