yo-yo wine

There is a region in the north-west of Spain called Bierzo. We carry a wine from there by Descendientes de Palacios. It sells for $39.99 a bottle, You will love it AND hate it, in the same evening.

I don't know why, but this wine changed in the glass all night long. First sip was too fruity, then it was bone dry and all the fruit was gone, later the wine had this wonderful fragrance, but it tasted weird. About an hour after opening it was delicious, complex and aromatic, but 10 minutes later, it closed again. Later still, the perfume came out and it was wonderful to taste.

I think next time, I will pour this wine into a decanter and wait 3-4 hours before I serve it with a fatty cut of meat, like prime rib.

Perfect wine for people that can't make up their mind.
