It’s bittersweet to drink the last bottle of a case bought more than a decade ago. My notes from my first bottle said “I look forward to drinking this over the next decade.” That’s what I did and it proved to be a great journey.

Bought 20 years ago for $9. Got lost in my cellar. Opened tonight with trepidation. Cork broke. Filtered through coffee filter. Fresh, delicious, delightful. Not really a 92 point wine, but definitely a 92 point experience.

So disappointing. Tried this at importer's tasting in 2011 and loved it. When we finally drank it, it was all simple fruit, like grape juice. Nothing going on. Feels like bait-and-switch. A complex natural wine at the tasting turns into grape juice. Doesn't make sense.
