Chapter 487
"You look so gentle and delicate, yet speak with such authority," the elderly gentleman said admiringly.
"Without decanting, wine's flavor drops a level, affecting the taste. If every server was this unprofessional, the
whole wine tasting would lose its original purpose. All the wines would have contracted bodies, losing their initial
brilliance," Sarah explained.
The elderly gentleman nodded repeatedly in agreement. "Try these others then."
Sarah didn't refuse, having nothing else to do.
She put down one glass. "This wine tastes immature, like it was rushed out before proper aging."
She set down another. "This one has a strong grape fragrance, but beyond that aroma, it has no taste at all."
"This wine smells and tastes quite good, just the color is a bit off."
The elderly gentleman watched Sarah with satisfaction - she was expressing exactly what he was thinking.
He led Sarah to a corner, making sure no one could see them, and pulled out a bottle from his jacket.
He held up the bottle proudly. "This is from my private collection. Would you like to try it? I'm almost reluctant to
share."
They called over a server and supervised the decanting process. As the red liquid was poured, it created
different patterns in the glass.

Just from opening the bottle, Sarah caught the explosive aroma - an rich bouquet of mocha, tobacco, and
licorice.
Her eyes brightened. "Is this Screaming Eagle's Second Flight?"
The elderly gentleman laughed heartily. "You know your wines! This is an expensive one, 2011 vintage."
Sarah looked at the wine in her glass with pained appreciation, feeling like a regular wine drinker discovering a
massive treasure, even before knowing its true value.
"You opened something so expensive?"
The elderly gentleman nodded and said, "I never understood the mindset of wine collectors. Wine is made to be
drunk. If it's not tasted, that's the wine's tragedy."
Sarah carefully lifted her glass and took a small sip, praising, "Truly worthy of being Second Flight. This is a
hundred times better than any wine I've had today or yesterday."
The elderly gentleman said proudly,
"Of course it is. The wines they've put
out aren't poor quali dystsiightly
pore average The real treasures are
held back. Those bigwigs already
decided not to bring out their top-tier
wines. But | dare say this bottle
would silence them all if they did."
On the other side, Vivian glared viciously at Sarah.
People around her joined in the mockery. "God, how disgusting, she's talking to such an old man."
"Could she be talking to him on purpose?"
"Even if she's trying to solve the

"I brought a few bottles hoping to find a kindred spirit to share them with. Seems I've found one."
