Last bottle from original purchase. Much more subtle now, still with a fruity/jammy nose but the initial alcohol nose has blown off. Tannins are present, but much less than previous bottle. Nice balance of red and dark fruit in well integrated way. Really didn't intend to age this (got lost in a back corner of the cellar!), but it improved the overall impression.
