Occasionally you will have a batch of wine that is good but not excellent. Happens to me too !!!
Now I stumbled upon an experiment that Jack Keller did a few years ago and he had it from Julian Schultz a famous wine-writer.
I repeated the experiment and the result was amazing !!!
it is easy. Just take a bottle of wine. Pour a bit out, and put the wine in the freezer.
By pouring a bit out you will make sure that there is room for expansion, and the freezing will not burst your bottles.
Now after a few days get the wine out of the freezer and let it thaw.
Now taste.
The difference is astonishing.
you can find my own experiment here:

I did it with 3 wines, and really can recommend it !!!!
There is no clue (until now) why freezing alters a wine so drastically, but the difference is really good noticeable.
