Friday, July 24, 2020 - With Doug and Debbie, socially distanced dinner in their yard. PnP, drank over 45 minutes
Deep red/garnet color. Nose was red fruits, spice/clove and damp earth. Dark red fruits, and some spice on the palate. Full body, finish faded quickly.
Fruit was stewed, no real distinctions. Felt very heavy and non-descript. I don't believe this was a bad bottle, just made in a dense way that has very little expression of the varietal. I am a fan of the Saintsbury wines I have had, this one was disappointing at best
