Mystery wine - why is this wine marked “2012” in pen on the label? Why is it $25 despite almost a decade of age? Why is it good considering all of this?
Pours a purple bricked hue, a little brown showing that age. High pitched perfumes of spiced blueberries, plums, rose petal. Tart - sometime abrasive and sometimes just right. Settles score with a little bit of fat dried fruit - raisins and prunes. — 4 years ago

Definitely an earthy, mature, savory wine from the Heights Natural Wine shop in Houston. Tobacco, cherry pit, Coco nibs, tar, bitter almond, strawberry, decomposing leaves, a definite sanguine quality. Bit of cigarette smoke on the finish.
Must be Grenache heavy-- this reminds me of a traditional rioja with 10+ years on it.
This wine is not lacking in complexity. Moderate but enduring tannins and lively acidity, though I wish there was a bit more fruit that tasted as lively as the acidity still feels. Glad I bought it, but it definitely wasn't a party starter at the VanMeurers-- too geeky and funky. — 4 years ago

Got to try this at Bar Purlieu in Eugene. Imported by a local Julian Sinclair.
Fun blend, touch of turpentine notes. — 10 days ago
