Light and smooth now. Bricking on the edges. Much more mellow that the first couple bottles, but nice to sip and enjoy. Wouldn't stand up to many foods at this point.

The fruit and vibrancy has started to fade. I thought this would be hitting peak now, but apparently that was last year. The fruit has moved to the background leaving more earthy notes and melow acidity. It is still a very nice wine drinking well, just not quite as good as it was the last two times.

Rating based upon Day 1. Vino is beginning to fall flat, but still has those earthy notes that I enjoy. Wine was stored in a corked decanter until Day 3, at which point it had oxidized and was practically undrinkable. I would not hold any longer.

Color: light ruby leading to browning edges. Nose: Red cherry, strawberry, a hint of wet earth, sweet spices, and cola. Taste: smooth on attach, mid-palate has tart cherry, stemy earth, nice finess and still plenty of acidity. Finish: really great length, sweet fruit and spice left in the mouth.

Court got stuck so I aerated and strained it and it was actually pretty good, put an ice cube in it as well
