This bottle also was throwing sediment which seemed to be its only problem today. I strained by the glass and drank with a spinach and mushroom cheese manicotti. This was a very nice match for both. While much of the fruit is clearly gone, the acidity and tannins are well balanced and in sufficient quantity to continue to work nicely. This was our last bottle.

Last bottle. Had some sediment so strained and decanted briefly. Little nose left but a very nice match with Blue Stilton cheese and veggie pizza. Drink up.

This was my last bottle, and even though it's been only just over a month since the previous one, feels like that might've been a month too long. Just starting to turn, getting some port-y, prune-y notes to it. Far from undrinkable, but nowhere near as good as I remembered.

Its best days are past but still it paired nicely with a 4 cheese manicotti on Christmas eve. Drink up, with pastas and pizzza.

My notes from almost two years ago still apply.
