  November 28, 2021 - From my posting on Instagram:
  
  In Vino Veritas (in wine there is truth; [people speak the truth when they are drunk]), a special bottle of my cellar sacrifices for Thanksgiving. This was a 34 year old 1987 Opus One, a collaboration between Robert Mondavi and Baron Philippe de Rothschild which was a Bordeaux blend of Merlot, Cab, and Cab Franc.
  This was a special bottle that I bought my for my daughter to commentate her birth year and she was on hand to share it with everyone. It’s still has a very deep red color with slight brown on the edges. A very nice mix of chocolate, tobacco, black fruit, and leather. 🍷🍷🍷 🍷 👍 👍 👍 👍#wine #winelover #winelovers #redblend #redblendwine

Perhaps you can make the bottle last for more than a few hours to see how it reacts in the glass? Since you are lucky enough to apparently have eight more bottles, you may want to try this one without decanting and the next one with? Enjoy!😀🍷🍷🍷🍷
