Quite a nice surprise, while decanting saw funk getting out of bottle and thought it would be bad. I would recommend keeping bottle upright for 24h and then decant. The barnyard funk end up blowing off after 1.5h . What came out was beautiful fruit, a little funk and heat. Overall great ballance and smooth integration. It should be a 93 point wine but the funk and heat takes it down a point for me.

Taste is great but have a smell of "Taranka" dried salted fish. Trying at a restaurant and taste reminds me of the 1946 but the smell ... I'm not against it but bizarre. On the pallet you have raisin , dry apricot, prunes in great ballance.
