No, not missing out - but having great expectations dashed when a highly-praised wine disappoints.

This past weekend - drove out to a Grange 2002 tasting.
I was expecting a huge, heavy wine, not ready for drinking for 20+yrs, but still with something special today.

While efined in some ways, there was nothing in the feel or taste to suggest it is any good now. I understand it is not a wine to drink today, but was still disappointed.

This wine has been given great reviews, so it is just an education - to not expect anything from such a wine, before time.

Lesson learned.
