I'm learning that "the hard way". Sometimes it is cussedly difficult to decide whether a poorly-drinking bottle is "still asleep" or "already toast". The '28 Margaux is a cautionary example. It comes from a famously precocious vineyard. The '29 from the same patch drank like a champ from bottling until perhaps 1950. All this time the '28 was mute as a rock. I've heard it reported that it is starting to drink (now, almost 70 years later!!) and really amazingly good.
the '53 Margaux was another one that drank from the start and began to get a bit fragile after 25 years. I have a few bottles of the '90, and this one is supposed to be a hypothetical blend of the '53 and the great '61. Four years ago a buddy ripped an '82 (from a vintage classed with '29, '45 and '61) out of its diapers - it was nowhere near ready. All closed up.
The "Wine Pederasts" have since disbanded, alas.

And I can't afford any of the supposedly wonderful '96.
