Tuesday, May 19, 2020 - Drank in Chris's backyard during quarantine from 6 ft away.

The thing about tasting this right now is I’m shocked now chuggable/crushable it is. It’s not heavy like a Napa Cab, nor thin like a cheaper Bordeaux. I imagine a time when 5th growths like this were much cheaper and people just opened them up to drink quickly and enjoy. Of course, it’s a $120 or so bottle retail so we must savor it. Sigh...

Just starting to get tertiary. But still lots of black cherries and black raspberries. Cedar, cigar box, pencil lead. Mellow tannins. Med + body. Drink now or hold
