Had this wine a few weeks ago but am just getting around to posting it. The oldest Alban wine in the cellar, this was classic Alban with an incredibly extracted yet balanced palate and a great finish. The wine is probably a couple of years past peak - had one from our cellar a couple of years ago that performed better - but this is still awesome juice.
