Wasn't really expecting much as I though this was probably getting long in the tooth. I was pleasantly surprised! The complexity still seems to be there. It is well balanced with fruit (cherry/blackberry) and spices to the nose (with a hint of leather). The tannins are balanced but are getting a bit soft, still good acidity. Tart cherry and spice on the palate. The only down side is that oddly enough, it is still seems a little hot on the alcohol side. I suspect this would have been taken care of with decanting. Overall, not sure how much more this can age as I'm afraid the complexity will begin to suffer.
