Advice — aerating a ‘95 GPL
Thoughts on how far in advance of dinner I should open the bottle?

Not too long, 1-2 hours.
The best GPL ever, in my book.
A great BWE month kind of wine.

For optimal enjoyment, I suggest another 5 years in the cellar with the cork unremoved

This wine is slightly less mature than it was 12 years ago

Did you guys (William P) watch “Echo in the Canyon” on Netflix, really good.

Jim
I’d never heard of it but I still listen to some of the bands from that era so I will try and watch it.
I still play some of the songs from this era on guitar.

It was such a pleasant surprise, Mark, some incredible old footage that I had never seen before. Highly recommended.

Re: Advice — aerating a ‘95 GPL
The ‘95 GPL was in a perfect place tonight. The ‘96 GPL was a bit flabby and uninspiring in comparison.

Bravo, Howard. Love the 95 GPL, always have preferred it to the 96. I just think the 95 will be even better in another 5+ years (for my palate of course).

That’s good to know Howard. I have eight in storage.

Re: Advice — aerating a ‘95 GPL
Well done indeed, Howard. 1995 is the one great GPL.

Re: Advice — aerating a ‘95 GPL
Glad it turned out well for you, Howard. I opened a 95 GPL a couple of weeks back. After a couple of hours in a decanter, it was still fairly tight. Though it can be coaxed to be very good now, I think it will be even better in another 5, or even 10, years.
