it's definitely past its prime...AND: still fabulous. the fruit has morphed into a maderized sweetness that is gloriously long in its finish, complex and layered in mid-palate, and completely integrated and silky fine tannins. Lovely.

Garnet. Nose was all unwashed socks that took over 1/2 hour to dissipate. Overblown plums in the nose. Overdone plum jelly in the taste. Not pleasant but not sure if it is a flaw versus just overdone everything.

Still very much alive, but now in a (too sweet) place for my palate.

Surprised to find this still holding together. In balance, intriguing flavors, really enjoyed sharing this with some friends who could appreciate it.

Fruit is facing but spice persists, perfect with the turkey.
