  Very smokey. Needs to breathe when opened.

  Been working through some orphans in my cellar. Needed a bit of Pinot to deglaze some short ribs so I grabbed this, and then we drank the rest. Did not get any smoke, which was a bit of a disappointment but still this was surprisingly good. Musty nose, soft fruit with plum and cherry notes, mellow tannins and well balanced.

  Smoke still evident, but the barn/hay/wild elements have folded into that flavor. Intriguing, but the backbone has started to break apart. Nice fruit - plum, blackberry, some cherry, but disjoint in flavor. The honeyed flavor of Hungarian oak stands out, and is incredible. Still interesting, but in a down cycle or past peak. Drinking is the best part! Cheers!
