What a gift! I would have drunk it sooner if I'd known it was there, so proceeded to drink it right away. The cork was firmly stuck to the neck and I ended up having to push it on in and decant. The wine was awesome. I'm sure some would consider it over the hill, but I generally prefer them older. It is a classic Médoc, medium-bodied, little tannin, but enough for some structure. Lovely fruit.
