  After initially coming up a bit light this put on quite a bit of weight after being open an hours or so. Plums on the nose. A bit stewed with a touch of brett. Lots of tannin still. Generous acids. Shows some warmth even though it's listed at a mere 13%. As I mentioned, picks up plenty of palate weight with air. Over night the brett takes a bigger part. Not too distracting for me but it's certainly in the room. While this is still going strong its never real complex. A very good wine if somewhat straight down the line. Enjoyed.

  Smooth right out if the bottle, complexity appears simple at first ️but develops soon afterwards. Acidity is mild. Bony turbid, the fruit is deep
  I would easily pay over $120 at a restaurant.
  What a pleasure to drink!!!!!!!
