Wednesday, December 9, 2020 - Had been thinking about opening a slightly older Bedrock for a while, and last night was finally the right time. Lorenzo's Heritage is one of my favorites, only slightly behind Evangelho for top of the (ever growing) heap of Bedrock releases. I opened one of these way back when it came out, and cemented my plan to buy a bunch each and every year. Since then I have always opened a new vintage bottle shortly after release, and always been thrilled with the results.

That's a long preamble to saying that I really enjoyed this bottle with some age on it, but I think I wanted to like it even more than I really did. It was still an excellent wine, showing a more of its Dry Creek bones than a newly released wine could, but I missed the exuberance of the younger bottle. It was a more contemplative wine than I was looking for on a Tuesday night after a long day of work. It still had that dusty red fruit and warm herb profile, just with the volume turned down. It was polite listening rather than a party. Maybe just me, but that's how it struck me. I left 1/3 of the bottle to check out tonight.
