Surprisingly good! It didn’t taste like a wine past it’s prime. Not much bouquet or complexity. Smooth tannins. Not much fruit, but very tasty. I decanted about an hour. Not great, but went very well with sharp cheese and also beef stew.
The wine has lost a bit of its fruit and character, but remains good and solid in spiciness, length and balance. It's not to be held for too much longer, but I wouldn't write it off entirely yet.

This is nothing to go Gaga over. But, it delivers the goods: a pleasant and delicate palate cleanser for foie gras and was in full form the following day for our cheese course. I was very pleased with it, realizing fully that I have a more positive spin than most reviewers.

I'd say good but not great. We had at restaurant and didn't have time to check drinking window on CT. Realized after that this was way past its prime. Nevertheless was a good bottle to start with while the main course decanted.

Tannins have smoothed out, fruit is nice but weak, and there is a slight lack of body. Probably past it’s peak. I should drink my last bottle soon.
