Purchased as futures for a song ($9 total per bottle) from Millesima in NYC and always held in a temperature controlled cellar. This is a lighter bodied Bordeaux with delicate fruit, balanced against an appropriate amount of acid. I don't think that this is a wine that should be held past 2022 as it will start to fade by that time. Other years with more intensity can last longer in the bottle, but not this one. I will give updates over the next five years as I still have 11 bottles.
