From a big vintage, this is now drinking beautifully, rounding into form. If you have some, this is a great time to open a bottle. If you have a lot, don't panic, because there is no rush. It is still rather young in its fruit profile, although the tannins have fallen off a lot. This was $53 on release, and it certainly doesn't seem overpriced. It was beautiful then, and it has justified my faith in it.
