Re: only one way to really find out

you're on the money, mkuller
a good way to approach any 20 year old wine is with low expectations -- it might have been affected by oxidation, cork taint or just have been foul to start with. also, it might have developed more savoury characteristics so don't expect a really sweet zinger.
try giving it plenty of air -- see how it changes after a few minutes, half an hour out of the bottle.
