January 19, 2024 - Blinds w/ Jenny's supper club (Jenny's): Oxidized. Very prominent raisin aromas.
14.5% alcohol. High acid and tannins.
given the oxiation, raisination, and elevated alcohol, I'm guessing Valpolicella Ripasso.
Laterals:
- Zinfandel (would be cleaner, fruitier)
- Southern Rhône - wouldn't be this oxidized
Actual: 2017 CdP
Analysis: This wine is over the hill. Oxidized bottle perhaps. -

June 16, 2023 - Big in all ways that I like in Rhone reds, fruity, nose, long interesting finish, moderately strong tannin. Will keep a few years but v.g. now.

April 15, 2023 - PnP at cellar temp. Big mistake. Almost no nose at all. The palate had the slightest hint of sour cherries but that was about it. I let it warm up and breathe but it needed a long decant. Hold.
