I decided to move past the heavy barnyard on this wine and I was rewarded: plenty of fruit, still considerable funk, but also a depth and breadth that I was not expecting. Sure, upon opening, this is more than off-putting. But as it warmed and incorporated some air? It improved. Maybe even drastically. Still some funk but closer to a Whoa. thedrunkencyclist.com
