There are few times in life, mine anyway, when you get the chance to drink a cabernet that is 24 years old. Now most things that I have read about the taste of old wine is probably not good unless one; you know exactly what you are drinking and two; how that wine has been stored over its many years of bottled life. Many articles that I have read warn about developing a taste for “old wines”. They are definitely different in structure, flavor, texture and color.
