A tasty treat-- looks like I lucked out with an intact bottle.
Pure, almost primary fruit core, with a hint of secondary earthiness coming through. It's not the most complex and doesn't have the longest finish, and that's okay. It's completely balanced, with alcohol unnoticeable and tannins still somewhat present, but texturally smooth overall. I'm thinking it's at peak now, and can probably drink quite well for another few years.
