hey, here's a wine from left field that will knock your socks off if you can find it. it runs about 60 bucks.
gibson shiraz 2002. open it, let it decant for exactly 1 hour. then drink it completely in an hour.
The nose out of the bottle will be nothing. after decanting, it will smell just like a jar of caramel to the point of almost being overpowering. The taste is fantastic. caramel but not overpowering. After about an hour and a half, it gives up the ghost and returns to its just out of the bottle nothingness.
I've never tasted a wine with such a dramatic transformation.
