I often tuck a bottle or two of CdR from better producers (Rayas, Brunel, even Guigal and a few others) aside for several years and find the well-balanced ones age gorgeously. I happened upon your note because a friend emailed me that he just last night opened a bottle of the 98 Pialade I gave him about 12 years ago, and he said it was delicious! Thanks for posting.
