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.
