1998 Les Amandiers Vin de Pays de Vaucluse

[hotwine]

Went rummaging in the cellar tonight for a different red to have with leftovers - smoked brisket, potato salad, cauliflower w/cheese - and turned up this Rhone that I had purchased last May, and forgotten about. Nice surprise: black pepper and raspberries give over to black cherries; nice mouthfeel and deep red color. And the price: $7.99. Found the '95 on Robin Garr's Wine Lovers' Page, with similar notes. Only two left in the bin, so I'll definitely buy more.
