WTN: Albalonga Time Gone

    30 year old Albalonga from a weird vintage? Oh sure.

    Wow, it this good. Spearmint and nectarine ride a rich frame that suggest substantial sweetness, but at this point (not 20 years ago when I first tried it) it finishes dry. The flavors persist long past the sip, and the wine makes a lovely partner with coriander and mint marinated chicken kabobs.
