Solid 25-year-old wines can still deliver experiences like this.
2000 was an excellent vintage in Bordeaux and it still holds today.
Deep color and a fully evolved nose with leather, earth and old armoire, plus a reductive note that faded with oxygenation. It took 1h30 to open up, but once it did, it came fully alive.
It revealed dried dark fruit and cocoa, with a very rounded palate, integrated tannins and a long, harmonious finish.
Wine is time made visible, where what was once fruit becomes memory and complexity. Like us, it softens with age, losing sharpness but gaining depth, until everything comes together in quiet harmony. 😉🍷

@mcgillmd921 “In the eagerness of their rivalry fortune so handled the two that, for all their mutual hostility, the one helped and saved the other, and it was impossible to decide which should be considered the better man in valour.”

G. K. Chesterton explains that reading gives a man more lives than he was born with:
“A man who has read a thousand books is armed for life; a man who has read none is easy prey. The man who has read a thousand books has lived a thousand lives. He has seen cities he has never visited, spoken to men who died centuries ago, and walked in worlds that no longer exist. Reading does not merely inform him; it enlarges him. It stretches the boundaries of his own experience until he becomes something more than himself.”

Not a fan of working out with other people. The gym is my time to be by myself in my own thoughts.

Fascinating!
Oaks And Lions 🏴🇬🇧@oaksandlions
Did you know Britain has rainforests? Along the western coasts of Cornwall, Devon, Wales, and Scotland lie fragments of this ancient landscape. Shaped by constant rain and ocean air, these woodlands are dense with moss, ferns and ancient lichen. Some trace their origins back thousands of years. Today, less than 1% remains. Rare, ancient, and often overlooked. One of Britain’s most remarkable natural landscapes. Want more posts like this? Follow @oaksandlions @WoodlandTrust @ForestryEngland #BritishNature #WildBritain

Duart Castle, Isle of Mull, Scotland 🏴
This scenic castle that overlooks the Sound of Mull is the ancestral home of Clan Maclean. The keep was built around 1360 by a Lachlan Lubanach Maclean after he married the daughter of the Lord of the Isles, and she brought Duart Castle with her as part of the marriage agreement. More parts were added throughout the next few centuries and it became the main seat of the clan.
The Macleans held it through some tough times but lost it in 1674 to the Earl of Argyll after big debts. It was later used as a government garrison and then left empty and falling into ruin for over 150 years. Then in 1911, Sir Fitzroy Maclean - the 26th Chief - bought the ruins back and spent years restoring it so the family could live there once more.
Since then, the Maclean family has kept looking after it, and today it's open to visitors from April through October. You can go on tours of the rooms, see displays on clan history, order drinks in the tearoom, and enjoy the great views over the sea and mountains. Some of the family even still lives here in the private parts of the castle, so it feels like a proper home rather than just old castle ruins.

Was discussing the decline of pastry in England with my favourite patissier of 15 years, who blamed it on Brexit, saying he can no longer bring over French patissiers. But what's freedom without cake?

Why is the sandwich called a sandwich?
It is named after John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich.
While gambling in a London club in the 1760s, he asked for meat between two slices of bread so he could keep playing cards without stopping to eat.
Others began ordering “the same as Sandwich.”
The name stuck.
