Wow dick, I never heard it put like that thanks for the chemical reaction info. I agree with what you said.Also in addition the the prossess of oxidation that slowly ages the wine there is the shear volume of liguid in the larger formats that mature a little slower do to temputure. the longer a bottle is exposed to a proper celler temp 55 degrees and 70% relitive humidity the lesser volume will mature faster just because there is less volume to age. shroomgirl, Just as a fyi, larger formats are sought by collectors and the like because of there scarcity, lower production goes into the imperials nebuchadnezzar 20 Bottles, rehoboams 6 bottles in champagne ect.

I'm more apt to enjoy a large format bottle, mostly because of the occasion at which it's opened. It's less of an academic moment and more of a celebratory time with good friends and a good meal.
