  This is tasting for the larger font 2008 bottle. The cork completely disintegrated with pieces falling inside the bottle. I had to strain the entire thing and pour it in a new bottle. It was a bit tight at first taste, still fruity, with dark berries flavor. Good body with a decent finish.

  I had 2 bottles of this wine, same vintage. One label with small font and one with large font. This tasting is for small font label. Pungent nose of wet wood and leaves with whiffs of cloves. The flavors are still very bold, with prominent tannins. I’m tasting dark and tart fruit, can’t really place it. Creamy mid palate, herbaceous when swallowed with a long finish. This wine can easily go another year or 2.

  Very funky when opened. A bit of sewer gas on the nose that dissipated fairly quickly. Once it opened up, is was very rustic and course with dark fruits. Made me think of what many wines were like two or three hundred years ago. I did like it, however. Needs hearty food to accompany it. We drank with smoked salami and smoked gouda.

  This wine is weird. But in a good way
  Think dark dark fruit. Dark wine. Decanted for a while but still oakey, but a good level.
  Lots of flavors going on. Not for timid wine drinkers. And don't make the mistake that we made and drink this after a light wine.
  You'll get a "what the blank is this" moment on the first couple of sips.
  After half a glass, however, it will be delicious.
  excellent option for a wine party, to show unique flavors from around the world.
  You gotta try this wine. Trust me, I'm an accountant

  Had never had this wine before. Paired with grilled chicken wings. Quite enjoyable.
