This bottle is still holding its own...and then some! Enjoyable fruit is there for the tasting, tannins are resolved, and the finish is more than adequate. Given the level of fruit, acid, and a moderate ABV, this should last for some time. But it's great drinking now.

Soft, delicious, sweet black cherry fruit with leather, tar, and earthy flavors, very good structure, long finish, seemed to need more acid to give it more force or depth

What an absolute pleasure. This beauty should easily last another 5 years.

Dark berries, hints of vanilla, soft but present tannins, well integrated alcohol. Nice structure. Ready to drink now.
