Likely past it’s prime, over the hill. It’s drinking fine but held it expecting something more juicy.
Strong Kalamata olive, eucalyptus smell. Very mellow, majority of acid is gone. The heft of the alcohol still weighs, not in the label but feels like 14.5%.

Lovely integration at this point. Strong butterscotch smell. White flowers open up to honey. Has some acid still left and oily viscosity upon finish. Sweet almonds on the finish.
