Hi Dimitri
Funny, but I often have accidentally aged whites. I go in assuming reds,
especially cabs, cab francs, Cahors, Madiran wines must be aged.
But I guess two buck chuck is "engineered" to be bought at 2PM and served at
7PM. Nothing wrong with that. But the very nature of tannins in reds will
allow for aging. Glad you were rewarded for your "patience."
