Fully mature. Beautifully developed spice, prune, leather, and game notes. Soft, generous texture. IMO, this would make an interesting ringer in a blind tasting of aged Rhone wines - I would not be surprised to see folks guess Beaucastel - say, the '88 or another somewhat light, clearly mature vintage... A nice surprise.
