Lockdown Wine #78. With yesterday's leftover roast beef and saffron risotto. Popped and poured. Very dark, inky and opaque purple. Pretty soft tannins. Quite a bit of acidity. Not much else going on. Drank half the bottle over the course of an hour but no change at all. Extremely tight. Not sure what to make of this. Probably needs another 10 years in the bottle or a decant of 12 hours or more. Put half the bottle into a 375 ml screwcap. Let's see if the pouring does something to it, but I'm not optimistic.
Three be the things I shall never attain:
Envy, content, and sufficient champagne.
