Still fresh, though taking on some complexity and character. Lovely with fresh ratatouille over linguini. Ready to drink now and perhaps for another 5 years if well stored.

Decanted this for about 2 hours, but it was still pretty tight and boring for the first few hours of trying this wine. Slowly improved as the night went on, though, eventually reaching an A- for me at the end. A very bright, pure, medium-bodied wine, no oak notes at all, lovely red fruit flavours, but still young tasting - there were few secondary flavours in evidence, even after 11 years (B+/A-). Give this lots of air, and it would shine even brighter with food.

Still delicious but on the edge of decline. If you've got any, drink it up.

Good start, smooth, but didn't explode.
