Started with off with serious stank - gunsmoke/matches. Palate was in contrast though with a bit of sweetness, nice mineral, taut and austere fruit and some linear structure. Stank never quite left, but the wine carried through and was enjoyable. An odd bottle to be sure.

Nice. Minerality on the core and a lovely, lovely old perfume bottle nose. Light, would prefer a little more crispness and assertiveness, but still quite a neat bottle.
