Maybe I'm not educated enough to understand the wines as Pro's do, maybe they are somehow conflicted... I don't know.

For me it has entered it's drinking window, but some people have a preference for wines when they taste older. However, I'm not a Pro... it's just the opinion of an average wine drinker.
