Drink now! This wine is likely at (or just past) it's peak. Tannins are fully resolved, leaving a silky smooth mouthfeel. Really in a great place, but I would not wait any longer, I don't see this improving from where it is now. Overall really enjoyed this bottle, well worth the 13+ year wait.

I was expecting a large nose of fruit, but was not disappointed with the first ship. I gave it two hours in the bottle to breathe out. Gave it a 92. Next night it was fabulous, just what I expected close to a 95.

I did open this too soon. Heavy black fruits. A couple hours of air was not enough to really get to the depths of this wine.
