The effect is in the sensory processing area of the brain, which is what you are describing in your other examples. It’s very plastic and integrated. Being overwhelmed with one type of sensation often effects our perceptions of other types of sensations. Our smell receptors are specialized, with each type only capable of detecting their specific things. Humans have about 400 types of olfactory receptors. That’s all integrated.
OK, I take your point.
I had saved a glass from this bottle, opened in early August, kept in my refrigerator meanwhile.
Tonight, I am having it, six weeks later. Just spectacular.

Nice! So drinking window? 2100?
These 1994 California reds have had such wide drinking windows.

Loved that one! Long gone from my cellar.

Nice, I have a pair inbound
A bunch left.
That was an excellent wine. Mine are long goe. Victor, we share a love of ‘91, ‘92, and ‘94 California Cabernet.
Opened a 1976 Louis Martini California Cabernet Sauvignon with friends this afternoon. Was not expecting much, but the wine was very much alive, gaining fruit and bouquet after time in the decanter. We also had a 1976 Kenwood Zinfandel at the same gathering and it was in good shape as well. Both were Impressive for California wines nearly 50 years old.

Had a bottle of the ‘92 last weekend- it was gorgeous, and drank more like a ‘12 than a ‘92.
Love 80’s and 90’s Sonoma Cabs!! So underrated, yet are aging gracefully. I have a ‘92 Simi in the rotation to open soon.

The old Martini mountain wines seem immortal every time I open a bottle
