Coravin fun - Bordeaux (My place, Burwood): From Coravin. Baked earth, plums, sweet spice, cream, generous tending t rich nose. With time blackberry, cherry and blackcurrant begin too show with polished oak and cedar. Juicy brambles, blackcurrant, plums, cream are integrated with dialled back oaky notes showing sweet spice, tannins are silky persistent. Still quite primary but harmoniously balanced. For those that like that style this is good to go with an hour or so of air, otherwise time.

Double decanted with a charcuterie lunch. Lovely nose of fruit, cedar, and herbs. On the palate, gentle blackberries, oak, herbs, minerals, and a dry acid finish, with a touch of black pepper. Very smooth.

I thought it was great - a dusty neglected bottle in a part wine and part everything else store in CO so was curious if it would amount to anything but everyone love it. Stood up well to other wines we were drinking.
Tasted over several hours of decanting a month or so ago. Fairly ungiving, quite frankly, not much joy. Some might call it structured, etc. I am not convinced it's meant to be singing, period.

WB Dinner in Santa Cruz (Home Soquel): What a velvety, rich, and seductive palette. Concentrated but tempered by eucalyptus.
