Thursday, October 21, 2021 - Some Interesting Bottles Shared During Thursday Night Football (Los Olivos, CA): Serving this alongside a very much alive 1974 Ridge Petit Sirah perhaps unfairly painted this wine as a bit bombastic. Loaded with ripe, sweet cherry, blueberry and spice notes along with plum, licorice and lavender. Rich and delicious, almost a meal in itself.
Updating this note after returning to the bottle two nights later: I now find much less heat and much more typicity. I had slow-ox'ed for 6 hours. I recommend a 10-hour decant at a minimum, but perhaps more bottle age is merited.
