Worth remembering context that this is a pretty low cost bordeaux for the age.
Feels like tannins are fairly low now, so tend to agree this has prob peaked and needs to be drunk. Fruit is quite low now, aged bord comes across in forest floor nose and taste but doesn't have much length to it.
Don't mind it, but it is going to be a week day dinner bottle over the next few months rather than one to leave in the cellar longer. Might leave one or two and see how they go as an experiment.
Would not decant this wine at this age as a side note to myself for the future.
