I almost always save these BDX for the weekend when I am home from work and can open them hours in advance of dinner. I don't have that time luxury during the work week or I'd be eating at 10 pm every night! Cheers!......Mark

Due to the unpredictability of some bottles fearing that once open they may need to be consumed fairly quickly before turning.
