Sadly the last two hot summers have, I think, not been good for the wine in my cellar. New ac unit going in this week! This wine was opened, decanted and drunk within an hour or so. It has lots going on,and In good condition, I would think has plenty of time, if the fruit lasts. All the rest of mine, thankfully 3 dozen or so, is in professional storage and can wait there a while.

Very sharp on opening but an hour in a big decanter smoothed all problems. Very enjoyable. Seems to be very diverse opinions on whether it is starting or ending its drinking window. This was the first 2 of 12, I think that it certainly has 2 or 3 years improving to come, but ready now.
