This is still drinking well, but it is not going to get any better, in my opinion: tannins and acid have taken over and not enough fruit left for the right balance. If you still have some of this, drink it up. Maybe decant, and serve with a heartier meat dish.

Good ripeness and lots of secondary character. Didn't have the tannins I expect from FH fruit, even this far out. Nice but probably wouldn't hold these any longer.

Fake cork...I was very worried. Yes it was somewhat advanced, but that essentially took it to near maturity, with red fruit, earth and a smoky element coming together. Lighter than many recent St. Innocent wines, it was quite food friendly and enjoyable to drink.

Amazingly superb. If you still have one, open it up, let it sit a few hours, and then enjoy. Burgundian perfection!
