This “pan-drippings” blend is no longer actually “lost” but it does go through all the motions the original Lost Barrel did. Three barrels in total, left alone for six and a half years and still containing all the tippings; it’s mainly Syrah but every red sees this blend sooner or later. There’s a slight VA note that grabs the nose but the palate seems unaffected: blackberry and spice along with hints of beet, oak and dark fruit – intense wine that should age relatively gracefully over the next decade.
