Notes About The Poem

Wine Connoisseur - For Contest

No one wants to be left on the shelf for years
Guess you could say I’ve popped my cork
Now I’m fully mature with a rich full body
I could be described as a little fruity with a hint of spice
Please don’t keep me bottled up
Just give me time to breathe

Contest :- A wine Connoisseur 
Sponsor: Chase Trevi
