As it was when first reviewed (see herein) the is just enough reduction to mask the subtle nuances of the menthol-inflected nose though there appears to be good ripeness to the mostly dark berry fruit and earth aromas. Otherwise there remains excellent volume to the delicious, complex and solidly wconcentrated medium-bodied flavors that terminate in a relatively powerful, balanced and mouth coating finish. While it's impossible to say for sure, I suspect that the reduction will eventually become less apparent with time if not completely disappear. As to drinkability, this is still positively evolving and I have moved my initial suggested drinking window back several years.
