Saturday, December 19, 2020 - I served this wine as a blind. Initially, tablemates leaned toward S.Rhone grenache, 99-02 but one astute taster noted the sun-kissed fruit and correctly suggested Paso.
On day one you had more spice, red cherry, mulled fruit, and now, 24h later with 1/3 bottle in the fridge, tannins soften further to reveal a fully mature wine. Not knowing the bottle, I would guess an old Charvin or something like that. It does have some roasted fruit, but very classic tertiary developed notes of polished leather and golden chewing tobacco.
How a simple paso GSM at $20/bottle behaves like this 19 years later is really remarkable.
