Definitely past its prime, but certainly drinkable for those who like mature wines. Fruit was holding up relatively well on first opening, but it seemed oxidized after some air. Oddly, it seemed to come back a bit after even more time. Saved a bit for the second day and it's still pretty good. Dark red/black fruit, with some leather and herbal notes. A really solid acid backbone probably kept it together for this long.
