Tuesday, November 22, 2011 - Mid-neck bottle, very cloudy. Expecting to taste a completely turned wine, we were pleasantly surprised to find a pleasant nose of barely noticeable raisin and up-front olive. Had we tasted blind and not been biased by the appearance, this wine may have been passably 88-89. On the palate there were some off the wall notes of over the hill dusty old Rhone, but also a sweetness and complexity that were a complete surprise. I am on the hunt for a better example as it's clear that this wine was built to last.
