TN: 2015 Dirty and Rowdy Petite Sirah Old Vine Rosewood Vineyards

    Two years ago I said that my last bottle of this wine would sit for a long time. Fourteen months into a pandemic feels like an eternity! It’s still a bit of a beast, but a cuddly beast. It walks up, gives you a head butt, then snarls. I’m OK with that, as I like a wine with guts. The aromatics are very pretty, with deep red fruit and floral notes. There’s nice juiciness on entry. Then the tannins kick in. I don’t have anymore, but for those who do, have no fear in laying this down for a long sleep. It has the depth, and it has the attitude to go the distance.

Excellent tasting note! [cheers.gif]

It kinda reminds me of Hardy’s own release notes - metaphysical free form.
