Medium red color. Reduction on the nose in the form of burnt rubber and brimstone. If you can get past that, there appears to be some cherry notes and toast. On the palate, the reduction is joined by a huge hit of brett. in the form of sweaty horse. Over time, the reduction recedes and the brett. is left, obscuring what fruit is there. An unfortunate theme I've found with these wines as they've aged in my cellar.

A little too oxidized to enjoy. Still has some burnt cherry notes, but short finish.
