Was a mystery wine from Garagiste; my one and only bottle. Opened it because the drinking window on CT ended in 2018. But this bottle was in great shape and would have continued to drink well for at least a couple of years. So longevity probably depends a lot on the provenance. In any case, this was really nice, medium weight, with good acidity, and some earthy notes. Nothing crazy, but just well balanced and integrated and quite solid.

Agree with previous review. I was pleasantly surprised that this was still drinking reasonably well.

Still reasonable even if beyond its window. Decanting made little difference.

Two years past its drinking window and very tired. Still a little fruit but probably better for cooking with at this stage.
