- 2004 Edmunds St. John Rocks and Gravel - USA, California (12/6/2021)
It’s just so classic that the last sip is the best. I opened this as I was preparing dinner, and while clearly Rocks & Gravel, it seemed a bit light. The bramble fruit supplemented with a leathery undertone carried the R&G torch. At dinner time it began to fill out. By the end of dinner it was at full throttle, deeper on the palate, and the aromatics supplemented with herbal notes. Sitting with a few ounces after the meal it’s soft, full flavored, yet still relatively light bodied, like profound words delivered in an urgent whisper.

Wish I had more. For some reason back then I would only buy 2 or 3 bottles in any given vintage. It was only in 2009 that I adopted the Tom Hill "buy a case" plan.
