  2/4/2024 - Slaz Does not like this wine: 90 Points

  Tannins remain fairly strong while the fruit is fading, unbalanced overall. Tasted over several hours of decanting. I did not like the tasting experience much. Should have enjoyed this last bottle a year ago.

  Amazing wine, deep purple red color, young and fruity some animal funk in the beginning after decanting for an hour, lots of black fuit, methol, cherries, dark chocolate, brown sugar, a hint of saddle leather on nose and palette, velvety perfectly integrated tannins highly distinguished and elegant gentlemen wine - like a classic jazz night - never ending - so good - just 1 bottle left unfortunately

  2 hour decant. Nose of dark plum, wet earth, a touch of dill, and a sharp barnyard aroma. Rich black currant, black fruit, and dark cherry coats the moth, adding minerals and tannins but it's a bit flabby without much complexity. Tannins continue on the finish, adding ash, barnyard, funky dark fruit, and lingering soil.

  Full and dense nose. Black fruit and plum. Liquorice and ink. Herbs and barnyard. After a while - too much Brett!
  Fullish, impeccably concentrated, harmonius, very right bank palate. Dense and deep. Round and ripe. Plum, gently oaky and generous. Very good length.
  But - after an hour or so, the wine is overwhelmed by Brett. If you like a healthy dose of that, this wine is probably 94 pts.
