Opened, allowed to warm up, and served. Medium body, solid ruby. Very floral nose with some licorice and menthol. Nice acidity and balance - lithe and aging well. The nose is quite distinct and classy. Decent fruit and not overly dense. Not as good on day two so I would suggest this is fairly mature at present.

The nose was so full of Brett that it was hard to drink. Once you got past that it was however smooth and silky drinker with solid fruit although not fresh nor lively. Good with reservations.

8th of 12, decanted 30 minutes, perfect cork and level, little changed from last bottle noted more fully in Dec 21, upside yet, 10+ years. F+ (18).

Dinner at Spinasse (Seattle, WA, USA): Big fruit, bold, powerful, very approachable and not yet remotely tired or dried out. Quite enjoyable.
