Selfish week sounds well earned, yup I need a couple of those soon! Well back to business hope your chef friend gave some nice gardening tips being in your neck of the woods and something you enjoy.
Pity about not enjoying wine, good red 2004 looks superb (in label and bottle), hope you give detailed account of the bottle you bought on a day when you relax and enjoy it.
You do know once you open the bottle it must be consumed...., or find a friend to share with!
The wine I bought it pretty special and... apparently needs to set for ten years before it's drunk...So, I hope I live that long.
Laying wine in cool dark spot may mature to taste good, bottom of cupboard for a year or two then enjoy, or it may taste like vinegar 😁....
