November 8, 2017 - Poured blind. Showing some stable/barnyard aroma in the aromatic. Drinks pretty youthful, meaning the fruit here is not faded, and my notes say a 'molten' quality with sweet berry and tar. Very unique wine, and while I thought the balance in the wine was missing, I still would have a hard time pegging as 40 years old, for sure.
