Still drinking fine, and very elegant, but past its prime. Drink immediately

This had taken on a medicinal flavor. Might have waited too long.

This was serious stuff. One of the better CdPs I've had all year. Deliciously balanced, subtle, savory and elegant. Good weight, not excessively heavy. Dusty mid-length finish. Pairing: Cemitas de Cecina. [A-]

This seemed at peak drinking to me. Wine has softened, fruit has taken on a lot of secondary flavors. Surprisingly, it continued to open over the 90 mins we enjoyed it.

At first felt a little overripe. After about 2 hours of decanting this wine started to really come together. Nice smoke/charcoal, with cherry jolly rancher. I think this wine is just at its peak as it has shed its tannins and lack of acid/backbone with limit ageibility from here
