Probably well past its prime, but still a very quaffable bottle. The tannins have relaxed, and I'm getting cherry jam, cranberry, and dusty oak. Smooth, but thin.

Very nice aroma, heavy on the berries and plums. The flavor is dominated by plum, raspberry, and a bit of spice/tobacco. Not quite full-bodied and tannic enough to be truly great, but a very nice tasting wine.

Held up surprisingly well. Very smooth, with food fruit character.
