Friday, November 17, 2023 - Duck, duck, abortion!; 11/11/2023-11/17/2023: [Coravined a pour] (No initial rating, couldn't give it one honestly on the first go around)
A heavy wall of wax and notes of petrol that stand in the way of this damp oaked fruit.

Palate showed bitter yellow and heavy fruits. This is big, and so round, and even thicc.. Could’ve used an injection of acidity but I don’t know if it would ever get some. Maybe with a ton of time, the weighty fruit recedes some and allows the acidity, if there is any at all, to strut its stuff. to Personally, I don't know if food would even help this but supposedly it should.

[Popped cork after 6 days]
Nose is surprisingly different: yellow flowers with a spritz of deep honey, and halved pineapples with a nicely bitter lemon zest. A pleasantly creamy characteristic adds depth, almost like a drop of condensed vanilla.

The flavors are like biting into a slice of pineapple with all its sweetness extracted, leaving just its juicy, bitter and mineraly flesh. Tall grass and earth on the mid palate. Bitter hay, minerals, lime zest and dirt dry straw trails into the finish.

Decant HEAVY if opening now, and room temp actually seemed to improve this. It’s weighty but softens up with a lot of time. Should also go well with food, with what though, I can’t tell ya.
