10/9/2012 - tb_baltimore Likes this wine: 89 pointsA bit disappointing after the nice description from Lot18 on this. I rated it as enjoyable, but not over the top. The nose reminds me of wet laundry and leaves on a rainy day. Some would say 'cat pee'. The taste is a bit on the bitter and sharp side with fruit present, but with the acidity, it seems more citrusy. In some ways this reminded more of bitters. Interestingly, this became very flat after time in the glass with almost all of the nose also going away. With some reading, I'm now wondering if the initial odor was Brett that went away with air time. This is the first wine that I've noticed such a large difference on the nose between the initial opening and the aroma over time in the glass.
