Last bottle of a case of 12. Lost most of its fruit & tannic structure. Softer mouthfeel, but more prunes & raisins with some dark berry flavors - although less prominent. Past its prime for sure.

Agree it is at end of drinking window. Tannins are completely resolved, leaving a bit lack of structure. Fruit is still there, and slightly sweet like a late harvest. Still good, but not likely to get any better.

Dusty tannins, dark fruit flavors - enjoyed without decanting. Only one bottle left in cellar. Drink soon 1-2 years max..

PnP'd- still lots of fruit on the nose & palate. Easy drinking. Note to self - consume last 2 bottles over the next 2-3 years.
