A little past it’s prime. Still delicious. Dried fruit, medium acidity, developed tannins.

Beautiful aroma and vibrant like it should be for a 12. I really enjoyed the tannins holding. Great red fruit and served a little cold it's tasty.

Starts off fairly light and fruit forward, with little in the way of weight or complexity. With two hours of air, though, the fruit recedes a bit and the substantial drying tannins make themselves known. This may hold more interest when/if it all becomes more integrated in a few years. My score reflects current enjoyment, not the likely potential here.
