From the cellar: Wow.  As in where has this bottle been hiding?  Came from a vineyard order some time back and got lost in “the cellar.”  A minefield of wonder: Licorice, leather, mace, blackberry, a beautiful finish.  Scintillating on the palate.  Still has shelf life, but alas it was our last bottle.  Gorgeously food friendly.  Maybe you’ll spot it on a wine list?  La Frenz can be uneven but there was nothing but balance here.  Watch out Washington!  Trumped the Australian Marquis Philips we had a week ago.

Price: Twenty something; didn’t keep a record.

Market Liquidity: Jump up and down good.
