Last year I had aquired this above wine which was a recomendation from a retailer Avalonwine.com in Corvalis, Or.
A few weeks after it arrived I tried and it was OK. Tonight I tried a bottle with a Hangar Steak my wife did with French Fries(diabetic nightmare) and the wine was outstanding.
Amazing what a year can do for a wine...more than that it may have not fully overcome bottle shock when I tried last year.
Now the question: How long should you wait to drink a wine that was shipped cross country. Took 2 - 3 days to my recollection. I normally give them 3 weeks.
