On the downward slope but still a delicious drink. Raspberry fruit on the nose. Solid acid base and long finish. Just a little sharper on the palate than I remember.
Addendum: WIth 2 hours of air the sharpness has dissipated and and what remains is an aromatic wine with beautiful secondary notes, smooth on the palate.
Addendum 2: 24 hours later and this wine is spectacular

Strawberry and tea notes on the nose. Tea carries into the palate with the fruit turning into red currant with solid tannins and a hint of tobacco. Finishes wit red currant and almost a hint of cinnamon. Decanted prior to drinking.

Wine has bouquet of dried fruit, there is minimal fruit left with some heat and it is quite acidic. Short finish. Past it's prime.
