Popped and poured. Some browning in the color. There are some savory, aged notes along with some menthol and cherry fruit. For my tastes, a nice balance of fruit and structure. This bottle was very good, and Ann and I both enjoyed it. A fair amount of sediment in the bottle.

Final bottle. After a full day of running around to son's basketball tourneys, popped this enjoy with some carryout brick oven pizzas. Still has some nice cherry notes, both sweet and sour, interestingly enough, but things are less balanced than my previous bottle as the alcohol has crept forward a bit. Just seems to have started it's decline a bit quicker than I thought it would. This was perfectly enjoyable (as was the pizza) ... but if I had another one left, I think I'd drink up.

Lovely old wine at this point, with somewhat drying fruit, but still holding lots of interest and charm.

Very mature now, going strong with lots of tertiary notes. Drink up.
