WTN: Bedrock Zin OldVines '14...(short/boring)

by TomHill » Mon Nov 11, 2019 3:47 pm

Tried this last night:
1. Bedrock Zin Calif OldVines (14.4%; Avg.vine age > 80 yrs; Drk: 2016-2026: MTP) 2014: Med.dark color; strong raspberry/blackberry/DryCreekVlly Zin/some spicy fairly dusty/OV/bit earthy light toasty/pencilly/oak rather primary nose; lightly tart strong raspberry/blackberry/spicy Zin slight floral/insecticide fairly dusty/OV some pencilly/oak flavor w/ modest smooth tannins; very longraspberry/DCV Zin/spicy/blackberry fairly dusty/OV bit insecticide some pencilly/toasty/oak finish w/ light smooth tannins; still a bit on the rustic side w/ plenty of Zin fruit but showing some evolution and not developing into anything particularly interesting; much preferred the '18 I had last week, can't see this making it out to 2026, though.

I always like this bottling young, I see no reason to age it. There’s enough other Bedrocks for that.
