1974 Chateau Musar Rouge

Titania eating fairy strawberries on a cinnabar divan, but only after a full 20 minutes in the glass.  Why is this wine so old?  What does that even mean?  Age makes sense in some chewy/impossible Bordeaux that mellows into smooth caresses, but this is silk sublimated, the old made aged, orangey-brown and outrageously pretty, unnatainbly expensive, a pleasure for a tiny group of people.  Could age another twenty years?  Could I age another twenty years and still be interesting?  Am I interesting now?  Being able to sit quietly and drink wine like this is a great motivation to become wealthy.  

Mi Terruno Malbec 2013

Her nose has character, is pretty even, but bitch is skinny, like with extra skin, like she had a lap band, and who has a lap band at 2 years old?  What crazed, human-centipede type doctor prescribed this child invasive surgery for what was likely adorable puppy fat.  Has the brazilian craze for plastic surgery infected Mendoza?  Or is she the irresponsible offspring of an un-airconditioned shipping container and an absentee vintner?  We'll never know.
