cool wine. good. needed to swirl away some of the harshness. cracked black pepper nose, almost exclusively. a little sweet plum or raspberry syrup. lighter body. dehydrated strawberry and candied raspberry flavor and a big wave of menthol comes with the heat. baaarely tannic.
day 2- better. shows garrigue and cinnamon candy.

Nice wines; 7/8/2016-7/9/2016 (Geelong VIC): The only good thing about this wine is a peekaboo from behind a curtain of Brett which gives an indication of what this wine might have been. I think it would have been pretty enjoyable but for the lick of Brett and a seemingly unresolved primary ferment which has left too much sugar on the table. Between cork, premox and Brett issues I'm finding European wine a minefield to navigate. At least this one was inexpensive
