Saturday, April 15, 2023 - Medium bodied, traditional styling, high quality natural cork.

Three years since my last bottle, followed over two days. Now opening up a bit and showing that it is in fact much "cleaner" than most Journaries vintages -- Cornas-like rusticity has been traded for crystaline mountain berries perfuming the room from when the bottle is opened to the last echoes in the finish.

The balance, complexity, depth, and persistance are punching in a price range above retail. Give it another 3-5 years, but enjoyable today. Little change between day one and two, though perhaps a hint more savory on day 2.
