Not sure it counts.
For my 30th birthday my father opened a bottle of 1878 Porto his father bought.
So it was 130 years old.
It was... Unreliable. Full taste, very sweet, much more liquorous than regular Porto. We drank it quickly, what was left was fully undrinkable only a few hours later, totally spoiled. But for half an our after being opened, it was truly the most amazing Porto I ever had.
It has been bottled before cars existed... Before electricity became widespread...
Really a lifetime experience.
Now its gone, but I keep the bottle for future storytelling.
Reminds me of this webcomic about the Oenophile's Quandry.
Oh wow, I better save this for something important
Oh no
