Stood upright about a month ago. Was clear, but could only decant all but 5oz. Bottle had sediment caked to it near the cork where it had been resting. Cork was in great shape.
Massive aromas of stems, light red fruit, herbs and aromatics of herbs from the dry side of sun drenched hills loaded with scrubs, smoke, crisp bacon, cherries, elderberries, plus other smells for which I have no lexicon. This nose is stretching my abilities!
Palate is rich. Lots of stems. Smoke, bacon, cured meats, dry burnt edges of bbq pit slow cooked meat. Rich and very rich. I think too much stem tannin.
EXCELLENT wine. Love it.

My last bottle of six that were purchased at K&L auction.
Let rest upright for 8 months. Totally clear I could only decant all but 6oz.
Nose was faint, but dusty dry fig, plum, hints of cherry.
Palate revealed completely dry juice, soft and laden with light tobacco, hints of cured meats, cherry, elderberry.
Excellent wine.
After 30 minutes showed smoke, cured meats, elegantly soft and very interesting with building length.
Paired with Aussie rack of lamb it brought out more tobacco. It tasted like light cigar soaked in hibiscus tea with dry cherry and elderberry accompaniment.
Most of its fruit had dropped out and now was a delish dry juice to tell a story of meats, tobacco, smoke and hints of garden.
I felt like I were Theodoric, eating the most excellent meat, fingers grasping the bone, sipping this delicate but flavorful juice, bringing me joy to see my children wrestling with our hounds.

OMG good!
What would Jesus drink? THIS!
Crazy nose of crushed rocks, cured meats, horse's ass, fresh greenhouse garden smells, and lots of funk!
Palate is light and a bit wimpy, but delish and real.
Nose is amazing!
I keep my nose in it.
Palate sports lots of stems.
Great vegetal energy with meats, stones and yum!
