rain and cold weather led me to this bottle during all-day hoops yesterday. definitely on its decline with oxidation changes noted, particularly in the wine’s nose, i still thought this wine got interesting as the best of it was appreciated 5-6 hours after being opened when accompanied by a red sauce pasta filled with fried sirloin & bacon. the wine’s stewed aspect really faded, almost disappeared, and more fruit arose with this food. this pairing was vastly superior to the grilled petit filet i had with this wine for lunch. cheap enough on the secondary market to make this day where i went 8-8 getting into The Sweet 16 more memorable.
