Had the bottle opened for over four weeks without any major changes to the nose or palate. Quite generous and fruity. Tastes more exepensive than it is. Lightweight vintage port. I like the style.

A very good shiraz that has change its apperance compared to previous bottle almost six years ago. The bombastic fruitiness and alcohol has merged into a well balance wine with fine tuned sandy tannins. Still on the youthful side on the fruit.

I see no rush finishing remaining bottles.
Bottle 8646 of 10100.

BYOB - "2013, 10 Years Ago" with Finewines.se (Vinkällaren Grappe, Stockholm, Sweden): I had a hard time getting this to be a nebbiolo at the start. Very shy on the nose that takes some time to open up. Not the usual rose hip as in many other Barolo, more on the earthy leather oak style with firm tannins. It does a splendid comeback on the palate after 10-15 seconds.

Hold!
