Today, I am starting a process I have been looking forward to for many, many years: I opened three bottles of the best Shirazes at their 20th anniversary. I will drink and compare these over three nights: a glass each on each night.
They are looking good, the levels are high in all wines.
But then the first major obstacle. Only the Grange cork, which I pull
ed first, comes out cleanly. The others break. It is not a disaster, as I will capture the cork which fell in (it was not much) in the decanting process. But is my cellar too dry?
Results will follow after the three day event.
Nothing to do with your cellar, I've seen corks like that (from those same wines and vintages) even from the best of cellaring conditions.
