Decidedly weak now, well past its best. Still showing signs of former character, with dusty minerals, light cherry and red fruit flavors, but the tannins are sagging, and the palate is compressed and dilute. Finishes with a breath of life, but this bottle has definitely seen better days.

A little stink at first, but quickly turned into quarry dust, revealing an intense mineral streak. Dried cherry, sharp tannin, juicy acidity and that old wood character that reminds one of mature Rioja. Drinking beautifully.

Beautiful mid weight texture, lovely mild red and dark fruit.Possibly not long to go now but still super enjoyable.

Thinner and tart, without any real power or complexity. sort of just muted and old.
