Cuvée Gitane Red Blend 2012

Mystery wine - why is this wine marked “2012” in pen on the label? Why is it $25 despite almost a decade of age? Why is it good considering all of this?

Pours a purple bricked hue, a little brown showing that age. High pitched perfumes of spiced blueberries, plums, rose petal. Tart - sometime abrasive and sometimes just right. Settles score with a little bit of fat dried fruit - raisins and prunes.

Cuvée Igor Nemausensis Fecit Red Blend 2012

Definitely an earthy, mature, savory wine from the Heights Natural Wine shop in Houston. Tobacco, cherry pit, Coco nibs, tar, bitter almond, strawberry, decomposing leaves, a definite sanguine quality. Bit of cigarette smoke on the finish.

Must be Grenache heavy-- this reminds me of a traditional rioja with 10+ years on it.

This wine is not lacking in complexity. Moderate but enduring tannins and lively acidity, though I wish there was a bit more fruit that tasted as lively as the acidity still feels. Glad I bought it, but it definitely wasn't a party starter at the VanMeurers-- too geeky and funky.
