I picked up a $30 (2/3 off!) 2011 Enchanted Path at a local shop’s clearance rack and loved it, so I searched for it and this hit came up. If you’re nearby it might be worth checking out. If it’s for real and you get it, please gloat!
Ha, clearly I hit a vein (or is that vain) with the M word.
I’d only heard of it once before, recently when there was a tasting announcement somewhere. I looked it up here and saw some ramblings decrying mediocrity and didn’t give it any more thought until I saw it there on the rack.
For comparison, we drank it alongside a 2008 Rosso dei Principi Innamorati from Umbria (80% Sangiovese, 10% Merlot, 10% CabSauv) which was a nice standard Italian (dry reserved fruit, supportive tannin, respectable length finish, bought half price at $10). We liked it, and I wouldn’t hesitate to serve it to anyone, but every time we switched back to the Mollydooker, it was a well-balanced, well-integrated party. 13 years had been good for the wine.
Was it stored in the cellar or on display in the south facing window? I would hope by now that any WBer within stumbling distance was on their way to investigate and take one for the team.
Alla you jokers are welcome to break into my car and leave your M word wines
Went to an Aussie trade tasting today of cold climate wines. A whole mix of grapes from South Australia, Victoria, and NSW. All were…just okay. The $70 Riesling (that’s USD) was pretty good I would happily trade any of them for the bottle of M I had Sunday. I’ll even leave the car unlocked.
