This is an excellent wine which is just shy of its peak drinking period. With wines like this one, it's hard to predict the perfect time period but I'm thinking probably 2021 to 2024. Don't open it yet. It's good now but your patience will be rewarded.

This is definitely a good wine but I think it's overpriced for what it is. Imo, it tastes much more like a California, heavy cab rather than a Bordeaux. For the money, I'd prefer second and third growth Bordeaux wines but if you enjoy the new world style, this wine will not disappoint. It's in its prime drinking window now. I recommend drinking within the next four years. Give it a solid two to three hour decant.

Showing well after some decanting but I'd recommend holding for another 3 to 6 years. It's still a little tight.
