There must be a logical answer, and if there is, you all will know. :-) Okay, for example, the latest WS rates Krug MV Rose 95 points. If I go into the store and see Krug Rose, how do I know that it is the 95 pointer, and not one that has been on the shelf for a year or more? This same question for any NV Champagne. (btw, I write MV (multi-vintage) for Krug because as some may know, Krug dislikes having their wine called "non-vintage".)
Thank you for any input!
