Very much alive and well. Bright fruit with ample depth and structure. Well aged but would not be surprised if it tastes similar for several years. Fully mature. Enjoy!

Definitely on the decline but this wine never had vibrant fruit or nose, only a core that seemed to fade rather quickly. Now the fruit develops later and the core is stronger allowing some light tannins to sneak back in as it breathes in the glass. Don’t expect a big blockbuster wine but it has mellowed with age. Do not decant.
