1996 vintage. Decanted and throwing a little sed. Tasted after two hours. Light-medium body. Missing that extra ooomph to vault this elsewhere. Fairly spicy along with lean fruit. Tannins there and, frankly, more than expected but not unwelcome. Def not improving but likely to hold steady for 4-5 more years before sliding down the bell curve. 5.15.24.
