Retail: ??? I Paid ~$25. I have mentioned a couple of times at least that we are unabashed fans of Siduri/Novy, so when I saw this wine on an auction site, I had to go all-in to get these two bottles. We had the first bottle several weeks ago, and I was surprised to see a synthetic cork, not sure why I was shocked, but it was worthy of note. That first bottle was rather unremarkable, a bit flat and listless. This second bottle was far from that. Bright and cheery, with cherry and a bit of cassis, and certainly a little earthiness. On the palate it was both rich and delicate, with balance throughout, and a medium to long finish. Excellent. 91 points.

Clearly a bit past but still interesting. Not much fruit to speak of, but some nice secondary flavors. Short finish. Very good.
