November 13, 2023 - Now 8 years after the harvest, the wine is clearly past its peak.
The wine was still enjoyable but the fruit has faded and given way to tertiary notes of age - for me, the note of solvents and nail polish remover was a bit too dominant. If you still have bottles of this vintage in the cellar, I would suggest to drink them quite soon. -
