Slo-oxed for ~20 minutes. Nice aromas of dark red fruits. These dark red fruits followed on to the medium bodied palate along with quite a bit of earthiness, some spice and some pepper. The acidity was juicy, and outran the fruit by a bit. The finish was medium and the tannins were fully integrated. The slightly acidic imbalance and the heavy earthiness lead me to believe that the wine is showing its age and should be enjoyed soon.

Drinking at its peak. This was delicious. I want one of these everyday. The tannins have mellowed into a smooth and tasty wine. Fruit has chilled out to a more subtle low sugar jam.
