Thursday, April 19, 2007 - has the look of an aged wine - pale, pale ruby.
Out of the chute the wine was showing nothing - I thought it was DOA.
With a few minutes of air, however, it stretched and came alive. Nose of tobacco leaf and forest floor - on the palate the wine is in beautiful balance - ample acid frames cherry flavored fruit - I thought I caught a whiff of brett, enough to add complexity - not enough to mark it down.
Very tasty, and a bargain at less than $20 US.
