Community Tasting Note

talbot61 Likes this wine:

Monday, March 22, 2021 - This started slowly out of the gate -- it was thin and woody when first opened, and the first glass from the decanter was still green and acidic -- but it got better and better through the meal, so that by the end of the meal, my wife and I were like crazed crack addicts, sucking every last drinkable drop from the dregs in the bottle. Fortunately, I was uncrazed enough to resist the suggestion that we open our second bottle. (Given how much this wine improved as it was open, I might leave that bottle for a few years, or allow more time in the decanter if we become impatient.)

I've never had this before -- it's another sterling recommendation from Jane Anson -- and this older vintage is still available from Saratoga Wine for $49. More recent vintages are available for less than $30. It's a great bargain at that price. The wine is quite similar to Sociando Mallet, which is very similar in price but better known and more widely available.
