  I expected this to be a goner, but it was alive and vibrant. Cedar in the nose, good color and integrated fruit with moderate acid. Tannins are history. Drank with rotisserie chicken. Didn't decant, but it improved in the glass for over an hour. Purchased at the winery and cellared well. I was pleasantly surprised, but if I had more I'd be drinking them real soon.
