2011 J L Chave St. Joseph
Opened last night to serve with spicy chicken tacos. Smelled/tasted fantastic initially, but on second thought we waited until after dinner to serve it (an hour, say) because I put quite a bit of heat into the tacos. In that time the wine should have gotten even more thrilling. But it didn't. Fruit dropped out and left a cardboardy shell. We defiantly drank it anyway because it was an $80 bottle (too much, but purchased a year ago in a wine shop on Orcas Island), but what a disappointment.
