There's still fruit on this, most of it cooked but it is dry. I don't think it'll improve any further as it's getting pretty funky. A bit of alcohol on the nose. Overall, it is still drinking well but it's time to pop.

Dark red color. Great nose. Dark fruits, still quite fresh, good concentration and some remaining tannic grip. Still a couple of years or so from peak maturity, but showing well. Good value.

On the blackish fruit side. Nicely aromatic. Impressive extract which seems particularly pure to me. Fine solid finish that still retains a bit of acid bit. Will keep just fine.
