Still drinking well but beginning to show signs of decline; its turning a bit dry, thinning, and the color is very light. Sweet red raspberries and red licorice with leather and spices too, but alcohol is very noticeable (14.5%). If you have any, drink it now.

Pepper, garrigue, and cherry bouquet. Supple, ripe fruit entry. Fresh fruit flavor with good concentration, there are accompanying secondary characteristics that add complexity. Very good length.

Showed plenty of fruit and balance right from a pop and pour. Still very enjoyable but not getting any better. Day two was dead. Drink now!

Not really noticing any significant decline yet in my opinion. Still drinking wonderfully.

For me, it does not seem the wine is over it peak. Well rounded, a fine herbal touch, warmth of the south. Great !
