think it's taste


"...During this period the wine simply doesn't taste very good. Vintners have no idea what causes this phenomenon but do agree that the time frame for this dumb phase, which can last for several years, is completely unpredictable." http://www.kenswineguide.com/wine.php?word=36

I agree. From Wiki:

"Dumb phase-
During the course of aging a wine may slip into a "dumb phase" where its aromas and flavors are very muted."

It's a different question now:



A 1.5 litre bottle of wine is traditionally known as:

• Magnum:):):)
• Jeroboam
• Demi

Geeky

I think 1.5 litres = two bottles is called a magnum. A Jeroboam is a double-magnum, equivalent to four bottles.

This would suggest magnum too:
