Towards the end of its life but still has a good base of black fruit. Tannins have integrated very well. Light mouthfeel but a long finish. Better than expected.

This bottle was in good shape, the fruit remained. I would say this wine is firmly in middle age. Some tannins remain and oak can still be identified as a secondary flavor, but integration is well on its way and there is a hint of the potential elegance of this wine's later years.

Elegant and sophisticated. Strawberry and plum with hints of cedar, leather and cocoa. Hitting its prime. Great with a steak. Drinking beautifully right now.
