At first a brooding woodsy nose, black tea, with dark cherry and forest berry fruit, loam, moss, and cooling herbal notes, Mid plus weighted for pinot. Sappy and dense, yet still not heavy, with more dark pinot fruit, undergrowth, moss, iron, and some stemmy notes. Mature, and spice and savory as much as fruit. Quite long. At peak with little signs of impending decline.

Slight funk and reductive. Funk blew off quickly. Extremely concentrated for the vintage. Soft integrated tannins. Pleasure to drink w red and purple fruit. Acid finishes nicely. Bottle was gone too fast.

Too much Brett. Wine couldn’t shake it on day two. Too bad as it has a great mouth feel and cherry finish.

Consumed over two nights. By night two, this was really good.
