Pop n pour, which turned out to be correct. Initially, nice mature fruit that was still holding on. Fully resolved tannins but still good acidity keeping it fresh. Fully mature and drank nicely. About 40 minutes later it really started drying out and getting linear. Though the nose remained fresh and vibrant which was not expected given how the body had changed so much. Time to drink these sometime soon if you have any left.
89 points initially then 84 by the end
