Seriously insane nose - so much going on here that it's impossible to describe with all sorts of metallic and rocky mineral flavours mingled with smoke, herbs and gentler melon and white fruited notes emerging with more air. Equally amazing in the mouth; intensely minerally up front with rocks, herbs and metal shavings over lime and melon flavours but turns softer and almost pillowy in the back of the mouth, finishing long with some creaminess. Wild.

Medium gold with plenty of life left. While I didn't try this on release, it seems to have benefited quite a bit from its time in bottle. Who says they don't age? There isn't much flesh left, but it's got an earthy, beef broth bass note beneath intense minerality, orange peel and clove. There's a hint of something faintly volatile that doesn't seem like a flaw in this context, if that makes any sense -- as clean, freshly turned earth is to brett. A very compelling showing.
