Monday, January 9, 2023 - Medium+ bodied, traditional styling, quality 1.75/45mm real cork with 15% saturation.
A bottle forgotten in the space under the stairs went through a heatwave but still quite nice -- with conifer forest tones, bright saturating berries, meaty prune, creamy chocolate. Rich and forward. Style reminds me of Santa Cruz Mountains CS with a touch more extraction. No real wood at this stage, maybe a hint of coconut that could also be heat related - it's shockingly stable to temperature.
91-92 - thanks for listening.
