Community Tasting Note

aero Likes this wine:

Sunday, September 11, 2022 - Medium+ bodied, traditional producer-unique styling. PnP with decant, a phenomenal nose and palate bursting with iron-rich soil, bright berries, new leather, fresh spices, clay. Firm tannins but balanced. Complex finish bring small dried flowers. Turns more towards traditional BdM profile with air, and it's almost disappointing except so good as well.

Enjoyed this far more than I expected, and it was less bretty than other reviewers noted. Doesn't reach Pegau levels of brett. The only wine I can think of that shares these unique tones are same era Clos Saron Syrahs (mid-2000s Heart of Stone, Stone Soup). Perhaps they shared a similar bacteria in the cellar in those years.
