Lovely nose once I gave the bottle some air--violets, granite, and some savory funk. Plenty of acidity despite its age, with a full body and some fruit still present on the palate. Tannins have softened but are still very present.
This is my first encounter with this wine, so I can't say what its trajectory has been so far, but I don't see any signs that this is fading. No hurry to finish these if you're holding.

Absolutely perfect with a lighter meal of chicken, and seafood. Blended fruits just jumped out of the bottle.
