Slow ox'd for 5 hours and consumed in glass over 4 hours.
The wine needed every minute of air we gave it, it started out a little shy and funky, the nose never really opened up, but the palate was ROARING after a hour in the glass. It had this animalistic funky wildness to it on the palate, dark fruit, minerals, blood with this ripe tannin undertow. Never really developed any of the sweet brown sugar that comes with age as it had this earthy frame that gave it some sweetness but more of that sous bois. It had a touch of rot, but with all those wild flavors it really just built complexity.
Really fun and delicious wine.
