Not only is this a weekend to remember those who have lost their lives for us, but it’s a sad weekend for me. I lost a longtime friend to cancer yesterday. We went to high school together in Iceland and we both served in the Navy. Normally this would be our weekend to get together and hang out at the pool, drinking beer and listening to 80’s music.

Pop and pour yesterday. Notes from day 2 open. On the nose: soft smoke and chalk, apple, lemon, a hint of reduction...lovely nose. On the palate: chalk, sour apple, lemon, loads of wet stone...fantastic acidity and good density...maybe my favorite incarnation of this wine so far... — 4 years ago
Nose is totally closed on open. Maybe a hint of tomato skin.
Palate is sort of stewed sweet tomato a bit. Some acidity.
Let’s see how this goes.
As this opens gunmetal smoke on the nose.
Palate is fresh. Fruit is smoked sun dried tomato. Lovely internal aromatics.
2 hours in. Nose is cherry with a hint of pleasant tomato skin. Deep. Dried red roses.
Palate is bright cherry. Savory tomato (good thing). Savory. Very interesting.
Day 2 nose is smoky. Deep. Hint of tomato skin. Palate is savory. Better yesterday. But not awful. — 3 years ago

I wanted a little funk yesterday 😁. Just the right amount with the added blackberry fruit. — 9 months ago
