Probably past it's optimal drinking point. Still has some red fruit on the nose. The color is still bright, no noticeable color variation. Something just missing on the palette. All signs point to past it's prime.

Long finish great pairing with lamb and gorgonzola. Great dark fruit and well balanced oak. Maybe we drank it kinda late but it was definitely still killer.

Pretty decent. Definitely starting to lose the fruit, but still enjoyable.

Still some life left on this, with well integrated dark fruit flavors that are complimented by herbs and heat after about 30-45 minutes of air.

full bodied dark inky wine with well integrated tannins; very smooth drinking, rich dark berry & cassis notes
