Definitely past prime but drinkable and interesting. The acidity has faded down to almost nothing and the finish is flat, but it smells great and the initial impression on the palate is favorable.

Lots and lots of diesel dominates the bouquet. Once you get past the gasoline, you get honeyed fruit, canteloupe, tamarind, nectarine, and a grapey note I cannot describe. The palate is full, rich and full of crisp apple and pear flavor characteristics. Excellent breadth and depth, paints broad swaths across the palate as layers upon layers of fruit, honey and nut flavors build. The acidity is mild, but still holding the wine together at this point and the wine should age another 5+ years in the bottle.
