Merry Christmas! Vibrancy to the tee. Omg. Best thing to come out of 2020 as far as opening and experiencing. Has the liveliness of Beaujolais with leathery and multi-peppery layers. Mouth porn from the 80s. Feels like carbonic but tastes like the best zinny non-jammy juice.

Starting off this birthday week celebration with some old school wines, this one was first up (rounding up to tasting note 1,000 on Delectable this weekend).
Was nervous about if this wine had held up. Seemed like it had a little bit of seepage and when we removed the cork it was wet and crumbled straight away. Additionally it was a mid to low shoulder.
Medium tawny brown with watery edges. Love this nose, layers of stinky and gamey notes, burnt and smoked wood, mushrooms, forest floor and some light red berries too. Extremely well balanced and well integrated. Moderate tannins (5/10) and medium bodied. A touch of jamminess on the palate with soft red fruits and some nice spiciness. Insanely long finish. Would be excited to try another one of these that was stored properly. Drink till 2019.
