Now very mature of course and as other tasters have noted a certain harshly on the finish (which had disappeared when finished on day 2). Very full colour and ripe nose and certainly past its best, but based on this bottle still enjoyable with some acidity remaining and reasonable length.

This wine is well past maturity, but it's got a decent character now, at least when well chilled. Almost Sauternes-like with orange, grapefruit, caramel, toasted almond and wood. A little harsh on the finish, but at least it hasn't totally fallen apart. As it warmed in the glass, though, it really turned unpleasant.

Not bad, but almost harshly acidic.
