Community Tasting Note

pape du neuf Likes this wine:

Thursday, July 9, 2020 - What goes well with Trader Joe's meatloaf and rough cut oven fries with rosemary and sage? A Mediterranean wine written off as undrinkable ten years ago.
I honestly would have guessed this wine was 4-5 years old. Bright color, still a bit of reduction on the nose. Garrigue emerging as the wine sat in the glass. Nice acidity, with fruit and floral notes coming forward with more air.
Maybe everyone was deceived by the modest price they paid. Why would anyone want to keep a sub $20 wine in their cellar for this long?

I'm lucky I read the initial tasting notes and stuck it in a hold bin for as long as I thought necessary.
