The color is deep gold now. Nose is still enticing and quite old worldy, but on the palate it is definitely not as elegant and polished as seven years ago. There is a bit of oxidation but more than that, it feels quite concentrated and more fleshy than I remember. Persistent on the palate. Finish is long. This is on the down slope. Drink up.

It’s going down. Should have drank it 2 years ago. Still enjoyable, but not at its peak anymore. Acidity is low - some oxidation. Old chard. Was great at peak.
Increasing my score on day two. Got better. Acidity is coming through, no fat. Oxidation wiff gone. Burgundian. Still, drink now.
Great gold color, stone fruit/some honey notes in the nose. Still showing med acid and med+ body. This has balanced out great and it is not last it’s prime but in tasting great right now. If you have any drink over next 2-3 years.

On day two. Was our New Years wine with Tom Kha Gai. Still excellent. My last bottle. Acidity and minerality keeps it going. Full and fruity with good oak.

A wine past its prime but still somewhat enjoyable.
