  Has aged well. As others have noted, this wine is in a very good spot. Such an expressive wine with many layers. IMO this is better on its own than with food. A fun wine to discuss with friends.

  대략 20년 전에 만들어진 미국의 쁘띠 시라는 무슨 맛일까 궁금해서 집어온 와인.
  이정도 가격대에 이정도로 오래 묵혀진 미국 와인이 있다는 것 자체가 꽤나 신기했다.
  결론부터 얘기하면 체험으로는 아주 적절하나 연속성은 글쌔?
  
  노즈에서는 아직도 과실향이 살아 있다는 것을 전투적으로 드러내고 있다.
  붉은 과실과 검은 과실의 사이에서 그 존재감을 모두다 보여주고 있다.
  약간의 아쉬움을 찾자면 칠링 탓인지 알코올 향 역시 적지 않다.
  
  팔렛에서는 잔당감이 기분이 나쁘지 않을 정도로 치고 올라온다.
  과실향 뿜뿜답게 과실미가 느껴지는데 이 밸런스가 어찌나 좋은지 끝나는 그 순간까지 기분나쁘지 않다.
  다만, 가격대의 한계인지 좋은 느낌이 길게 이어지지는 않는다.

  Drinking very well right now. Lots of black and blue fruits in the nose and flavor with chocolate and just a hint of spice on the finish. Medium to full bodied, nice structure and acidity, well balanced and a long smooth finish.

  Dark fruit including blueberry. Not quite tooth staining, but still dark and nice tannins. Great body and nice acidity. This is aging well.
