  December 30, 2023 - Needed about 10 minutes in glass to settle down and then improved over the next hour. Very well integrated and drinking quite well at this point.

  December 24, 2023 - Opened, poured and let sit about 30 min. Then: Not much on the nose, maybe some darkish fruit. Taste is reddish-darkish fruit, although low intensity and maybe a bit weak; no zin profile, particularly for Papera; no spiciness; acidity noticeable, particularly on the finish; tannins not an issue. I like zins on the young side while they still have their fruit. Aging this bottle did it no favors. Interestingly, this bottle is surprisingly similar to a 2016 Carlisle Papera I recently had. It had a similar aging problem and fairly similar profile. Aging hasn't suited either of them.

  August 25, 2023 - P&P; Brambly red fruit, a bit of baking spice, but somewhat flat and soft. Also quite hot on the pop, which eventually blew off some. I guess I was expecting more, but this kind of reiterates my dislike of Zinfandel. Certainly well made, just not my preference in wine.

  August 11, 2023 - My last bottle. I wish I would have saved it another 5 years. I think this wine is still evolving for the better. A very long lasting Zin. Prior notes still apply.
