Flavor component very puny, but drinkable. We've had to dump so many bottles of similar vintage Isosceles and Justifications that I was surprised that this bottle was not over the hill, too. At least the final bottle from our multi-year Justin Wine Club purchases was not a total loss.

Sorry to see these go from my cellar. Thoroughly enjoyed every bottle. Looking forward to other releases from Michel Gassier. You can't go wrong with any of his wines.

If you are willing to answer a question, I would be curious to know if anyone encouraged you to age those wines? I also noticed your note on a Dos Cabezas, which was the source of my own costly lesson about certain styles and how they age.

Just noticed you on CT today on a review of Michel Gassier Costières-de-Nîmes Nostre Païs Blanc. Remembered you were a wine lover. Small world.
