    Peaking? Depending how much strength you like in your glass.
    I know it's a personal taste but this wine was built for ageing.
    Cheers!

    12/21/14, 2:56 AM - hi Harley1199 - thanks for this. agreed it was built to age (i sill have a few), but the last 2 i ve had (one on proper tasting) left a feeling of very integrated tannins and less of a finish than the bottles i opened 2 years ago.
    i ll still give it a few years though !

    12/21/14, 4:54 AM - That's it estimated Hypersphere. Understanding you like it and at the same time consider is quite mature at this point, isn't it? There's not discussion with a 13 yo wine...
    May I tell you a few else? Usually wines of LRA have three different phases, at first frutty and oaky, then acidic and finally
    I've to agree again with you the wine is more than ready to go but as many things in life, depending if what your taste really is...
    Let's see how our bottles evolve and let's talk about it.
    Cheers!
