If

you accept the idea proposed by Heraclitus, that it is impossible to step into the same river twice, then it is easy to accept the notion that no two wines are ever the same. Take these twins, separated at birth. The darker and presumably more mature bottle has been cellaring in the warmth of my study. It's 27.5 degrees C today. The fairer twin has been kept at a constant 14 degrees.
