Saturday, August 1, 2020 - Not quite what we expected - drinks like a much younger wine. Pleasant now but may still mellow over the next several years.

Day 1: with Picadillo. A deep purple-red with (astonishingly) purple edges. Plum, cloves, some strong alcohol, and a scent like those valentine conversation hearts. Some oak. Sharp acidity. Not as mellow as would be expected for a ten year old wine.

Day 2: Salmon with Shishito peppers and tomato-basil mozzarella salad. Oak, nectarine, underripe peaches.

Day 3: Chicken pesto sandwiches. Slight oak, fruity with some port-like qualities. Moderate acidity.
