Past its prime already. Probably poor storage.

For a 16% alcohol wine, this one is smooth as silk.

Every now and again, a high octane CndP is called for. Nicely made for the style. Deeply plummy with baking spices and broad tannins. Slightly bitter midpalate, with a long finish. I wouldn't keep it around too much longer.

Had this last night, it made me re-evaluate the 2007 vintage..great acidity and structure while still having impressive breadth and depth on the palate.
