Interesting wine. My uncle was a trucker and the aroma reminds me somewhat of being a little kid under one of the trailers parked in his yard. The pivot where the trailer attaches to the truck was heavily greased and smelled like a mix of that and metal ground on metal. Add to that a touch of dead animal and fruit and you've got the nose of this wine. Decidedly funky and not for everyone.

Light red to brown and slightly cloudy. 90% earth and 10% light red fruit. Bland and thin. I am hopeless when it comes to understanding or appreciating these wines.

Ripe red and black fruit and burnt rubber on the nose. Macerated black cherry with an anise note predominant. Very secondary for such a young wine.
