Alright, this is just good. Right now it's sitting in a sweet spot - there's fruit, there's oak, even a touch of florals. Age has done it well, rounding off edges and bringing everything into balance. Maybe the grilled meat talking, but it drinks beautifully. The tannins have softened just enough, leaning slightly sweet, there's a nice juiciness without going overboard, and the acidity holds it all together. A calm, well-paced wine.
