Saturday, August 1, 2020 - Not my type of wine, that much is clear (but not many Cali/Napa wines are on the other hand. I need to avoid buying, since it never delivers)
This has gone from rather excellent (for a Cali/3:d world wine) to not good.
Opened and decanted for 3 hours.
Bottle is not flawed, this is just the way the wine is made - lack of real origin.
No good stuffing, fruit is to sweet and extracted, wine is overall way too hot and unbalanced.
Resins, sweet and extracted, smoked and torched bourbon styled vanilla from the barrels, anus and loads and loads of alcohol.
No complexity at all, just too much of everything, completely lacking any signs of any fines what so ever.
Used the remains for a red wine sauce, but not even that turned into anything good.
