Wednesday, April 12, 2023 - I wanted to drink a benchmark-year in the family, wine. So I did. However, I wish I would have left it open for 2 hours before the 1st sip, because the last sip came at abut 2 and a 1/2 hours, and it was by far the best. Makes me wonder if the score would have been higher had I started it then... It opened old, dusty and not in a good way. I just needed to give it time. No bitey tannin, that was all smoothed out. Some fruit left, but mostly cool tertiary flavors.
I used a fork instead of a corkscrew, but the fork just pushed the cork right into the bottle anyway, as it was so deteriorated.
Anyway, it was a fun experience and the oldest beverage I've had, to date...
Certainly not getting any better at this point.
