    8/22/17, 10:19 PM - crikey! that is disappointing!! I'd have expected to shine with that amount of decanting...I see that your in the US -do they sell it under screwcap or cork over there? cheers

    8/25/17, 9:52 AM - My only concern on this wine is the lack of fruit and not very strong tannins to hold it for 10 years. Also, don't be afraid of screw caps...they work nice.

  • thebatcavewines commented:

    8/25/17, 2:40 PM - Thanks. Interesting. I'm big on tannins. To be that's very important. I might see if i can get my hands on some more 2012's to try in a few years.

    8/25/17, 6:23 PM - I was going to have a look at one next year but I think it can wait until 2022...
