Aged SBs are a topic that's been on my mind lately. When touring Marlborough, I remember someone fairly knowledgeable telling me that many top-tier (unoaked) SBs have the potential to come-back and peak again after about 6 years in the bottle. This was the first time I'd ever heard of this, and I haven't been able to find anything on it since. Has anyone else heard of this phenomenon?
