I'd mark it on the downward side of the maturity curve, but expect that bottles that are not affected by some of the heavy Brett or bottle variation should give good drinking experience. I'd give it 15-30 min to breathe to really bring out the bright fruit, and watch out for heavy sediment. |

Didn't feel the heat was that out of line, the fruit and mellow tannins seemed perfectly in line for the age of this wine. Definitely in a good drinking window right now. |
