Tasted at home; I was surprised on opening the bouquet that came from the bottle. Red fruits and something that remimded me of flowers. The first sip was excellent, the wine was open but I was interested to see what more would be offered over the remainder of the night. At 2 and 3 hours I think the wine was really singing, excellent fuit and not harsh at all. However, the last glass was quite acidic, not sure what that was all about but I ended up dumping it down the drain. Very odd.

Nice on opening but showed more after being open for 3 hours. Surprised to note so much cherry and red fruits; on the 2nd day is showed a little better.

Popped and poured. Nose quite open upon opening, after an hour it was really singing. Was light to the taste, almost like a pinot, very smooth and not a hint of brett. Drank part of the bottle day one and save the rest. On the second day the wine had put on weight and was very, very good. Well integrated now but will be interesting to see what happens with 10 years of age.
