  Funked out on the nose, total brett many would consider this a flaw or uncleanliness. I may agree but this wine held its own minus that over whelming smell of rot! Total hold-your-nose-and-drink wine. But the palete delivers with a smooth structure and excellent notes of violets, dark fruit and earth.

  Incredibly dirty nose brimming with a dirty farm smell. Some would probably consider this a flaw (and it technically may be one) but the palate is silky with mushroom, red florals, and red berries. The nose is definitely a funk-factory, but the palate is quite nice.
