Results

Of respondents (n=14) 0% preferred the 2011, 21.5% preferred the 2013, 7% preferred the 2012, and 71.5% preferred the 2014. However, this study did not examine the effect of age on the same vintage of Petit Manseng over time, so it is difficult to conclusively say that the youngest wine was preferred.
