EirikM Likes this wine: 95 points
July 21, 2013 - Offered by the glass in restaurant. Generous somm opened a .375 and poured me half the bottle. Like liquid candided orange with honey and Christmas pudding spices. Incredible concentration and looong lingering finish. Great balance. Very fine.

According with your last taste, what do think to hold my only bottle until 2030?
Cheers, -

I hardly have enough experience to give a strong recommendation, but based on the structure and pedigree of this wine I would absolutely think it would drink very well in 2030. If you can manage to keep your hands off it that is;) I'm already casting long glances at my one half bottle of 2001...

Thanks for your quick answer.
I'm patient enough to wait for that 2030.
A 2001? That is a good temptation anyway, bigger than mine
Cheers,
