At age 9 this is still coming across relatively young for it's age. There are some notes of secondary development but any fears I had of it's ability to age were soon forgotten. This kept getting better as the evening went on gaining weight and flavor. A little simpler and cleaner than the better French counterparts of this blend but overall this is a solid performer offering excellent value. Should drink well for another 3-5 easily.

Despite community assumptions that this would be past its prime, it was delicious, perhaps more savory and rich than fresh and bright. It was still lively. I wouldn't worry much about drinking these fresh.
