Two wines I really enjoyed without foreknowledge about them--2000 Chateau Behere (Pauillac, Bordeaux)--only about $30 a bottle, gets more press in Great Britain than in USA--highly rated by "Decanter" magazine; and 2002 Rose' des Glacieres Domaine Fallence Sainte Marie (Languedoc, France)--a rose' from 100% Syrah grape. The Behere had what I considered a classic Bordeaux bouquet (cassis, cedar, etc.) and a smooth taste now even though it is described as being able to keep for two decades. The rose' had a raspberry-like flavor and was refreshing served chilled on a hot July day.

Overrated--possibly the 2001 Dunn Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon--will it mellow out in 15 years and still have some fruit left? I'm not sure. I don't really have enough experience with aging Cabernets to judge.
