  Opened and decanted about 90 minutes before drinking. A bit musty nose on opening, but mellowed after about an hour. Definitely earthy, with fruit coming on later in the mouth. Well integrated and very smooth finish. Will last a bit, but very nice right now.

  The nose was dark with haunting floral tones, grounded by notes of moist soil, minerals, and dark earth. Undergrowth, green botanicals and a hint of tobacco resonated. On the palate, I found a soft expression, giving way to notes of dried strawberry and minerals with a wave of brisk acidity that kept things lively and fresh. The finish was medium in length, showing mineral-soaked strawberry and earth tones.

  Tired and old. Smelled dirty and bretty. Tasted thin and lifeless. Not helped by food.
