This is my last of three...and five years since my last bottle. This is the least appealing of the three from memory. I find it past prime, but still serviceable with a filet mignon dinner. Not totally muted, but tannins are gone, and depth of secondary flavors are gone. Dark fruit...still balanced, and acceptable with dinner...but the wow factor is definitely gone. Drink up.

I see now why RP knocked off score to 91 and moved drinking window to 2021. A little too much Alc heat taking away enjoyment. Unsure whether more time will make wine improve.

this bottle was a little disjointed - surprisingly better next day (left in decanter)
