  This is textbook for quality zinfandel & the interesting results from its famously uneven ripening. The nose gives blue fruit and a touch of plumminess, but mostly the palate is characterized by racy acidity and red fruit. You get a little bit of everything. I always sleep on the Papera, but it's grown near and dear.
  
  Bedrock drinking windows are spot on for this one: it's just entering it now. It's a bit tight, finishes with some tannin, but is definitely open for business. Still, has some time ahead of it if you wish to wait.

  A bit of a science project to get this wine going.
  
  At PNP this frankly wasn't that enjoyable. Poured into a magnum decant and placed a ball cork to seal and back into the cellar it went.
  
  After 48 hours and some swirling this was in a much better spot. 97 pointer, no. As other have noted there is a rhubarb component or orange peel that comes to mind. Nice acidity and more enjoyable with food.
  
  Not sure about upside but no rush with a proper decant.
  
  PNP 89/90
  
  LONG decant. 91/92

  Good plummy fruit, rhubarb, touch of smoke and bitter finish. No rush but I don't see it improving much. In line with a lot of the other 2018s from Bedrock.

  This may be the best Bedrock I've had. I didn't notice the Galloni review until after I drank it, and while I find the score inflated, the rest of the review sounds just like the bottle I just had. Phenomenal, though I seem to be in a minority on this one.
