Midsummer love wine

Do you remember that wine that you had with your girlfriend while on holiday? What a magic moment that was! You were so in love, hypnotized like crazy. The weather was superb and the sun was shining with a perfect sea and the hotel staff the friendliest you had ever met. Jazz set the ambience, a perfect mood for two lovers, wine being the ideal complement and friend for this magic week. So special was the wine that you rushed off to the nearest wineshop, bought 6 bottles and meticulously packed them into your suitcase, with the hope that you could relive this moment time and time again. You returned home, back to your usual routine work and two months later you prepared a  dinner for your partner. With the intention of surpising your loved one, you set the scene with Jazz as background music and an open bottle of that special wine to enjoy and remember and relive.  Your partner arrived and was truly surprised. You served the wine and you kissed. You reached for the wine: the first sip was astringent, the second more pleasant. Half an hour passed and in between conversations the wine wasn't the same one you had during those memorable holidays of yours. Maybe it was the bottle? You opened another: the same again. You opened a third bottle and even worse. Your magic night had completely gone pear shaped. What happened? Maybe the wine was bad?  No, not at all.  Our mood also influences how we taste and enjoy the wine. You were in a state of extasy when you first tasted this wine. This is unbelievably difficult to repeat under routine cicumstances, especially at home in a normal environment when everything has changed and evolved, the wine and even us too.
