Still wonderful. Did not seem most peak at all. Wonderful dark fruit on the nose as I filtered into decanter. Deep, dark color to edge. Taste of dark fruit with smooth tannins and nice acidity. Hate to see the last bottle go. Plenty of more recent vintages though.

Excellent wine. Unfortunately, the fourth of the night, so tasting notes were skipped. Drinking beautifully, with plenty of time left for the remaining bottles.

I found this wine to be very good and did not walk away thinking it was running out of runway in the cellar. It presented as being well made with the balance and grace that I've grown to expect from this producer but it didn't really grab me as something special (which I had anticipated given the vintage).

Definitely past its peak. Still good, losing color and fruit. Drink up!
