Monday, September 2, 2013 - seems at its best now, but will probably remain at this level for at least a couple more years.

I think the 09s might be drinkable a little earlier: I'm guessing in 2-3 years. I bought a lot of this, but in the future, would probably not buy more than 3-4 bottles/vintage. But definitely a classic wine.
