December 6, 2018 - This has certainly come into its own and is drinking beautifully right now. It did need a 1 hour decant and then opened up; showcasing it's smooth and integrated slightly creamy and mineral self.

Would you be inclined to go with the 2013 vintage before the more recent vintages since it has some bottle age? Thanks.
