  My last bottle, shared with friends, and happy to know these can keep giving for this long. Anise and earth were the two dominant impressions for me with some dark fruit. One of the tasters also got some tea flavors and I could see that.

  Wow, this was worth the wait. It definitely benefitted from the age. Crimson eye, funky, medicinal nose, with a complex bouquet of herbs, earth, mature fruit. Resolved tannins and good grippy texture. Lingering mature aged fruits, red, currants, red forest berries, leather, menthol, etc. Long length on the finish. Mmmm. Quite an interesting bottle for the price. Thumbs up!

  A l'ouverture, le vin n'est pas attirant, les notes animales sont assez prononcées et ne donnent pas envie d'y revenir.
  Le lendemain, l'ensemble est beaucoup plus harmonieux.
  Les notes animales n'ont pas disparu mais sont bien intégrées et la bouteille se termine toute seule.
  Donc, bien après une bonne aération.

  Barnyard and a touch of brett on the nose. This could have aged another 5 years. Upon popping, this was a mouth puckering tannic beast, only with about an hour did things come together. leather and wild brambly fruit. Excellent.
