Enjoyed at Piccino in SF.
This bottle was really flat on first pour, was worried about provenance.
Wasn't corked, but just felt flat. Sommelier said it's probably gone, but we can try.
And thankfully, we did!
A hour of decanting woke this up.
This is an easy drinking blend of 55% Malbec, 35% Syrah, 15% Petit Verdot.
Powerful wine with dark fruits and leather notes. Maybe some cocoa as well.
You'd never guess this was 14.5% ABV.
Interesting blend, drank well alone but also with pizza.
90 points.
