Oh dear, it's a shame when a fairly expensive wine does not live up to expectations. The Bouchard Pere et Fils 1996 Puligny-Montrachet was one such wine.I get excited to have nicely salted and vinegared fish and chips when I get home to England, accompanied by a pleasing glass of wine. I usually prefer the vinegar be on my chips as opposed to in my glass, call me old fashioned, but a glass full of vinegar I did indeed get with this one. Hate when that happens.

A can of vimto it is next time then!
Had one before dinner!
Considering you do not knowingly allow any Chardonnay grape componets to pass your lips, much like hemlock, I would have guessed that you could have been a bit relieved that the wine had decided to end it's own consumable life. For most white wines, dosen't this continue to make a case for the fresh is best rule?
The Bouchard boys reckon this wine is good through 2022!!!
