Friday, October 5, 2018 - A little more wood influence showing through upon initial opening. Cleared up with air. Beautiful structure and balance. Concentrated and long. Lots of life left here. Drink 2020-2028.

Can I ask, what you noticed in this wine that leads you to think it will only last another 10 years? Was there something in the structure that was lacking? Did the wine fade over time? Thanks for sharing your note.

Usually the same amount of time on the other side to completely die. Therefore i feel this should last till 2040 or so before all it nuances are completely dead, but only drinking well through 2028. My opinion that night based on what that bottle was saying to me at that moment. As if this is an exact science. Im sure you know what I mean.
