Holding up okay. Alcohol and acid sticking out a bit, freshly opened however so may settle down with a bit of air. Not as vibrant as other bottles I have had.

A lovely brick-red colour, aged black fruit and an almost port-like aroma, the flavours are relaxed with very soft tannins. It's clearly reaching the end, drink now and enjoy.

I noticed the oak much more this time around. The best sip was the last sip. Like 'Kenachers' says, still a way to go on this...I reckon the wine is in a down phase.

I suggest drinking this now if you still have bottles. It's begun to fade, and the alcohol is starting to dominate.
