Nose shows ripe fruit with a good deal of earthy aromas. Palate seemed more structured and primary, with moderate flavors and length.

Totally faded...if it was ever particularly interesting. Stay clear. Didn't seem like a flawed bottle.
Good balance of fruit, mushroom aromas and flavors, tannin and acidity. At a very balanced place today, I wouldn't be keeping this more than another 5 years.
Ripe black fruit with good spice, still mostly primary. Great concentration and vibrant energy. Should easily last at least another decade.
