As many know, I love me some age on my Bedrock's. That said, I think this 2012 Papara might be a drink in the near-term wine. Perfectly integrated and drinking well, but maybe a little less exciting than past tastings. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed this....but will probably drink my last bottles in the next year or so.

Brought down to cellar temperature and then decanted for two hours. The nose is extremely subtle but has very clear Zinfandel notes of chocolate, earth and rustic red fruits. Really not that full-bodied on the palate and this didn’t stand up well to a fairly mild spaghetti bolognese. Without food this has a light, contemplative finish. Not bad, but expected some more depth and complexity.

Dark smokey fruit with brambly blackberry and blueberry

Quite tasty. Great strawberry fruit; younger tasting than expected. Definitely similar to the Carlisle from 2 nights earlier.
