Unfortunately past it’s prime. Fruit mostly gone, replaced by barnyard on nose. Hints of oxidation. Hints of cherry and mint, comes out better with food. Tannins present, soft. Bit of spiciness, acidity still balanced.

Bought 4 bottles - drank 3 of them in 2017 and they were good; but, with 2 more years in the cellar, this last bottle is delicious and optimal for drinking now. Excellent mouth feel, smooth tannins and blackberry, black cherry, and espresso notes. Enjoy now.
