2008 Landy Melange De Vin Rouge Russian River Valley

Sometimes forgetting a bottle in the cellar has its rewards. This is a bottle that didn't overly impress in its youth, perfectly fine but just that. At 14 years old, it has become quite nice.

Surprisingly youthful. Drink next 6 years or so. No idea of the blend. "A-"
