This seems to be have peaked 2-3 years ago. Was opened up at a Casemates meetup and was mostly dumped. This particular bottling was from a difficult vintage that I thought might shine with time and did come around into a decent bottle a few years ago. If have left of these I'd finish them, probably better with food.

Color is holding up, the copious acid is keeping it fresh, full of cherries and spice and everything nice, with a slightly tart medium-plus finish. Sad that it's my last one.

Christmas Eve dinner wine. Went very well with the Honey Baked Ham. Overall, fairly light, but tasty and hasn't faded at all since last year.

Last bottle of these. Certainly did much better with age than the early bottles. I doubt they'll get much better, though.
