Unearthing a Vintage Gem: A Surprising Gift from My Boss
Recently, my boss decided to declutter his office and stumbled upon an old bottle of wine from a vintage that immediately caught my attention—1921! Imagine my surprise when he handed it to me, sharing that he believed it might still be drinkable. Given his extensive knowledge of wines, I often defer to his expertise; he has undoubtedly forgotten more about wine than I will ever learn.
However, I couldn’t help but feel a mix of excitement and apprehension about this unexpected treasure. The bottle itself appeared to be in relatively good condition, with the cork looking intact. Yet, I found myself pondering the logistics of opening a bottle that has been tucked away for over a century.
For those familiar with wine, what would be your advice regarding a bottle of this age? Is there a chance it could still offer a delightful tasting experience, or is it better left unopened as a piece of history? I’d love to hear your thoughts and any tips on how to approach such a remarkable find.
