All the tannins had nicely smoothed out, but unfortunately so had most of the flavor and nose. My cork had dried out and the wine was a little over the hill. Oh well. Still a good wine but not extraordinary.

Needs air but finally blossoms in the glass with tons of minerality and dried fruit. 14.8 alcohol but not a dead soldier.
