Taste it Again / Lost & Found

On occasion, I’ll take a wine I like and put it away in a “special box” for a few years to see how it will age … below you will read happened to those wines. On the other hand, there are wines that get “lost” in my wine cellar with nary a review ever written - some have turned into golden Treasures, others supreme Trash and then there are those that fall somewhere in-between (Tolerable). We’ll look at those here too. (New wines are being added all the time so keep coming back):

Kittling Ridge 2001 Merlot

(Found - October 2007)

I have long been a proponent of Ontario Merlots needing time in bottle to really come about. Well, I lost track of this '01 Kittling Ridge offering somewhere in the depths of my racks and, well, after I found it I wished it had remained lost. The color had turned quite brown around the rim and the smells and tastes were prune-juicy in nature. Lost + Found rating: TRASH.
