Drinking splendidly at the moment

It receives more afternoon shade

crisp acidity and lively fresh citrus fresh fruit: small red cherries intermingling with orange zest

but worth the effort to take the ride

Azelia, Barolo, San Rocco 2001 OWC Drinking splendidly at the momentInto neck 95 CellarTracker Big firm tannin and a spicy finish with balsamic reduction; this really opened up after 2 hours becoming exceptionally savory. Currently at peak maturity, although this wine may last another 5 6 years. Baked plums, road tar, black pepper & licorice. Brick red and cloudy (beginning to brown) and maybe a bit heavy on the French oak, which is now converting to cedar, which I appreciate, but its starting to overpower everything
