What? A 20 year old Chateauneuf from a not so great year at $30 drinking like a legend? I was shocked. But I’m telling you, this was consumed early in the evening so I was neither drunk nor palate fatigued and this *sang*. Flowers, thyme, bay leaf, red plum, dust, crushed rock, crisp blueberry, and a very surprising amount of elegance and fine weight on the palate. Gorgeous color. What a steal. Drink in the next 5 or so years though.
