Still surprisingly intact. Some oxidation...but in an expected 15 year old wine manner. Last glass showed a little too much of the funky mushroomy quality that did not overwhelem the remaining fruit and very lively acidity. Not sure you should use this as a guideline as there is probably wild bottle variation on this wine.

The oak has faded away but there is still structured fruit remaining a refined wine

Oxidized and oaky - not a good combo.
