It’s funny how the least promising bottles can surprise you. This was purchased for $15 a decade ago and forgotten about out in the cellar. Decanted off the sediment now, it’s alive and enjoyable, elegant in its own rustic way. Lively black currant and black pepper nose, some fresh green pepper, spice, good acid, surprising complexity and a really nice silky texture through the palate. Even better with a few days of air.
