Wow, near its peak? It was rather closed and nowhere close to peak last May. I actually hope it's true, as I cellar a lot of Steve's wine, and love it when they reach some level of maturity.

Thanks for the note, Tom. I'm planning to hold my remaining bottle until 2013.

Near it's peak in that the tannins seemed quite resolved and very pleasurable drinking. But its doubt that it's
demise is emminent. Not sure how it will evolve, though.
