Most of the wines from this domaine are very fine and were bought at bargain prices. Tropical notes, strawberries, nice acidity, nice minerality. Not too complex but very pleasant.

1988 Heitz Cellar Grignolino

The bottle is over the hill but in a very special manner. The wine has lost most of its color, it is a pale brownish. That said, it is salty, and it still maintains that spicy, aromatic peppery character of Grignolino. Underneath, some gentle manure and some less pleasant basement. Therefore, over the hill, difficult to drink but look, very interesting. Moreover, probably stored in terrible conditions by the owner. Nice experience.

Well made and frankly totally drinkable. Recent port vintages are very drinkable. I would not wait too long on this (another 10 years), which would seem a crazy statement. I have tried the 70s and 80s and I have not found them appealing at all. Too little acidity, too little fruit.
