An enjoyable wine, although the fruit does remain somewhat hidden. What emerges is tobacco, a hint of chocolate, pepper, and some still-raspy tannins. Could use some time still, but good with food now.

Beautiful deep straw color, viscous and oily. The nose is oxidation, oak, petrol, and a bit of funk. Lemon and honey join on the palate. Great with a nice strong cheese

Strong brett nose that dissipates reasonably after 2-3 hours; barnyard funk, plum, currant, and pepper. Medium finish. Better on the second day.
