This wine is still kicking it, fully integrated tannins, lost its big early punch, I was concerned it may be too late, but I was pleasantly surprised. Fruit is quite muted at this point but still shines through, nice easy drinking wine now. I wouldn't wait much longer to enjoy, clearly at its apex.

Great floral notes on nose, red berries on a long dry austere finish, tannins are still present but not overly so, well integrated now, drank after 1 hr decant, seemed right since did not change in glass over next 2 hrs.

As another reviewer said, tart, tangy astringency, I was having trouble finding the words to describe this, terrible also comes to mind, I have tried 3 bottles, p&p, open bottle for 3 hours, decant, nothing seems to make this wine drinkable, having poured all three down the drain. I would give to anyone who would agree to pay for shipping, I have 9 bottles left. My rating may be generous.
