2018 Château de Lyde

First bottle from Costco Christmas box. Very good. Strong nose of black currant. Powerful black currant in the taste, with a hint of chokeberry. No trace of sugar. A hint of a bitter note. When the bottle was just uncorked, wine seemed flat, taste finished abruptly, even after aerator. After 20 minutes in an open bottle, completely different wine. Smooth, well balanced and with a great aftertaste. 20 minutes more, to the end of the dinner, and it became excellent.

Was great with baked mahi-mahi.
