Normally I can keep Jean Baptiste nine or ten years, but this year had a plastic cork and it tastes prematurely aged. Just drinkable now. Do not keep any longer.

Dark purple color. Intense fruity bouquet and taste. Still tastes very young, but the tannins have smoothed out. Drinking very nicely now, but ought to improve to about 2015.

Dark purple color with a complex nose. Rich velvety wine. Incredible chocolaty flavor; I have never tasted so much chocolate in a wine. Well balanced with a little tannin, Drinking well now.
