A lot of tertiary notes. Lacking punch for further development. Drink up!

Some reduction in the nose, although able to detect some fruits and herbacious notes. It is not the classical Hydrogen Sulfide "blocked drain/sewer/rotten egg" smell but a more gentle musky, rural Brettanomyces smell.
The wine is satisfactory in the mouth, considering the difficult year. Fruit forward but simple, lighter body, and at the best medium finish.
Does not get anywhere near the producer Alliiet.
This wine is clearly "lightly faulty" meaning it still drinks well with ok fruit...
Day 2: Brett disappeared???👍
Strange. Lifting score to 86. Red fruit in the nose and no Brett apart from just after removing the cork. Body now medium. The air has clearly done some good for this wine. Quite clearly there is some issues since the Brett is so pronounced one day 1. Causes can be many: poor hygiene, low sulfite levels and a handful of other reasons....
