Yea,

I had to bottle a mead too soon because I was moving across country
(something I seem to do too often). Anyway, the stuff just sat on a
rack for years, any movement and a swirl would form in the bottle. In
preparation for yet another move across country I decided to get rid of
all but the best of my wines. There were many that had oxidized and so
forth. Well the critters in the pipes had a jolly time on those but
when I got to this peach mead, by then about ten years old, it was
superb. The cork was off though so I sipped it and continued my
testing. I opened another because surely it was just a fluke that the
first bottle was good and lo and behold the next was every bit as good
as the first but it was already open too. I packed the remaining and
celebrated with those already opened.
