    12/18/12, 8:00 AM - That's a good question. I mean six years from the date of tasting, so 2018. That may still be too soon for people who like mature wines, but that's my best guess as to when the tannins will be resolved enough so that tasting it will be more of a pleasure. Obviously a wine like this can age for decades.
