I opened the first bottle of my six-case about three years ago and the wine was fresh, expressive and incredible smooth and balanced, with potential for another 10+ years. So I also intend to drink my remaining bottles over the next ten years. Looking forward to reading your notes and to watching how the wine continues to evolve. Cheers!
