Tasted before, I was curious to see if I would have as high an opinion. This bottle has been held between two and four degrees in my spare fridge for most if not all of the last 18 months. It starts somewhat diminished and dull. Presumably it's too cold and still hibernating. It seems nutty, flabby and more bitter than expected. It's only much later that it matches my recollection. Flint and struck match, peanut skins and grilled peaches. The bitterness persists in the mouth giving a hardness and astringent edge, a bristle and forcefulness that I may have missed before. 92-94. Now - 2014.On the plate: Roast chicken, two salads (1, 2) and roast potatoes.
