Charles Shaw TW0 BUCK CHUCK 2002
February 22, 2009
My father-in-law Perry purchased a bunch of Charles Shaw Two Buck Chuck some in 2003. The bottles are all 2002 vintage. We drank them back then and they were what we thought were more than decent. Now today Feb 20009 he decided to indulge us at his house for dinner and opening a bottle of 2002 Charles Shaw Two Buck Chuck. Now this bottle was stored in air conditioned space and properly stored in a horizontal positioned. The wine seems to have little tannins and very pretty corkey. We want to know if you have had an experience with two buck chuck older vintage and what you think or thought of it.!!

I was lucky enough to be warned about this problem. Most cheaper wines are meant to be drank young. They generally lose all their bang after a year or so. I’ve been told if you plan on laying a cheaper bottle down French italian or Spanish wines will hold up better. I haven’t really tested this theroy myself. I’ve come across cheap burgundy that was stored correctly yet still corked.

agree: I have done the same.. just aged a bottle for 2-years, and had same lack-luster, and even bitter taste. We have decided if 2-buck is in the house, we use it quickly!
