Afraid this one is past peak. Still nice but has lost some fruit and comes across as lean and warm. Too bad -- these once were awesome as recently as a few years ago...

Wow, still alive and well! Surprisingly this wine is still quite good. Showing some age, but still has gobs of fruit and a decent nose.
