Bought en primeur in 2008 and back label says "best within 2 to 6 years". But this has aged very well, still some warm brambly fruit, some herby notes and gentle spice. For me, 15 years is a good window for this, I found it quite aggressive and fiery when younger.

In a good place now, perfectly mature, but fine for several years from here, with blue fruits and chewy tannin.
