Thursday night. Grilling. At the cork pull, wild red cherry and rhubarb. Soft as a f****** pillow. Yes, feels like it’s 12.7%ABV. Laced with floral nuance to the palate. Some cherry lipstick. Flavors are all still rather primary. That last Crooner (08) I had was starting to turn the Corner. Although, some iodine on the nose and palate.

Some serious funk with this wine. Earthy. I get the black tea note in this wine pretty easily. A nice QPR as well. I will look to pick up another couple of bottle because I would like to see how much this improves with some bottle age.

Day 2. Cranberry and sweet cherry fruit. Soft brown sugar aromas. Soft cinnamon. Sweet and enticing aromas. Acid pops on the palate. Juicy palate with crab apple notes.

Gave this bottle to Elizabeth. Perhaps we'll get to drink this bottle together.

More spice, almost black pepper Syrah-ish. Getting better all the time. Palate is pure Pinot. Length.
