I enjoyed this bottle undecanted with friends over dinner. I was not paying a lot of attention to the wine, but I did note its mellow character, typical black fruit, and overall pleasant mid-palate I would say it has time left, but has gone over the hill and is starting to decline.

Beautifully developed wine. Opaque in color of dark purple. Fruit was fully developed with blackberry and black currant and a dollop of licorice on the nose and palate. Tannins in the background which made for an easy drinking red with fantastic concentration on both the nose and the palate. This wine has met its time. Drink now and you won't be disappointed!

Still drinking very nicely. I'd give it at least another 3 to 5 years of life.
