Does Aging Help?

Reading over the existing reviews of the 86 Talbot seemed to dramatically show the effects of aging on Boudeaux wines. On October 3rd, 2007, my wife and I shared a bottle of the 86 Talbot. I bought two cases of this wine way back and have been sampling them over the past few years. None had impressed us. However, this one was magnificent - as good as any Bordeaux I have ever had and I have had a few. So, had it finally reached its peak or was it just bottle variation? I can't wait to try another and see.
yeah

This was probably the best cab/cab blend I've had. I know Robert Parker gave it a 96. It deserved it. (Lots of tannin.)
past its peak

I've had this wine 3 times within the last year, and while it was very good, it's now going down. don't let it breathe too much if you have one.
