  Not a bad showing for an older wine. Notes of cherry, currant and plums plus herbs, vegetables and lots of earth. I imagine there was more fruit flavors earlier that have faded. Not a bad pairing with our 3-meat pizza plus pork sausage, genoa salami and herbs.
  
  This was $10 on sale and I was curious about it. I’d love to have a more recent and stronger vintage.
  
  Drink now with food

  Still fruity, medium body, decent finish, Berry flavors on top, medium complex, leaning toward downhill - not tremendously complex. Good with Salmon dinner, tartness and crispness still forward.

  Consistent with previous bottle. Nothing special but a good wine. Mellow all around
