Magnums + Larger
Sometimes a single bottle just doesn’t befit the occasion!
When you need to celebrate in style a magnum is the minimum.
Wisdom suggests the larger the bottle the slower the wine inside will age.
There’s another interesting factor when it comes to bottle fermented sparkling like Champagne. The fermentation ‘kinetics’ the way the wine ferments in magnum just seems to give the Champagne magnums the edge in quality over single bottles.
Maybe it’s just the party environment!
Here’s a list of different wine bottle sizes.
1.5L Magnum = 2 x 750 ml bottles.
3.0L Double Magnum – Jeroboam = 2 x Magnums or 4 x 750ml bottles.
4.5L Jeroboam (aka Rehoboam) = 6 x 750 ml bottles. (Jeroboam is either 3 or 4.5 L depending on what part of France you’re in)
6.0L Imperial (aka Methuselah) = 8 x 750 ml bottles or 2 x Double Magnums.
9.0L Salmanazar = 12 x 750 ml bottles or a full case of wine!
12.0L Balthazar = 16 x 750 ml bottles or two Imperials.
15.0L Nebuchadnezzar = 20 x 750 ml bottles or the name of the ship in the Matrix.
18.0 L Solomon (aka Melchoir) = 24 x 750 ml bottles.

Brooding and dark, bold structure, while still being supple. There's a trick! Tightly coiled it progressively opened. This will be a special wine in time. So much going on!

Tightly coiled & brooding. Chewy old school tannins like the Perno. This will build into a fascinating wine as it resolves. If the 2008 Gabutti Riserva I had is anything to go by this will be a cracker given 5+ years in bottle!
