This wine has transitioned out of its sweet and petrol stages and is drinking very nicely, steely with sugars integrated and settling into a supporting role. No doubt will improve, but drinking nicely now.

Drinking nicely: sleek MSR Kab with a soupcon of petrol on the nose, but otherwise in its prime. Drink or hold.
Post script: this wine continues to develop for several days after opening, going through a dumb phase that tastes deceivingly washed-out, before re-emerging in chiseled, steely, almost crystalline form. So no reason to rush on this at all: it's likely several years yet ahead of its prime.

Pretty good, drinking well. This bottle seemed a tad weaker than other I've had; not sure whether because of age or variation.
