Showing its age a bit. The rich intensity of what this used to be is starting to fade slightly. Must say that the brightness, the acidity, and the finish, regardless of its sort of muddled composure were fully intact and keeping this alive. That familiar smell of fruit aged a bit too long and getting pruny is showing a little. I let it sit out overnight and the rich nose left behind mainly shoe polish but the brightness and muddled fruit had opened up to be something more enjoyable. Whoever wrote the little tag next to this wine at the shop was perfectly correct in saying 'hard to tell where this is headed or how to make sense of it'
