Dark ruby with a very slight hint of bricking. Some funk on the nose, with a metallic brett element also present on the palate. Cherry, blackberry, bitter cherry all present, that funk just a little too overwhelming for real enjoyment. Not going to rate numerically as I think this bottle is going out with brett.

13% ABV. Moderately deep garnet, slight clearing at the rim, translucent throughout. Spicy nose suggesting a warm spice like cinnamon, but not quite. Bark and mulch. Medium bodied with plum strawberry and pomegranate fruit. Tangy finish. Touch of green watermelon rind. This is not a bad value for Burgundy at $30. Plan to retaste leftovers tonight.

*** Medium Garnet colour. Medium nose of red fruits, raspberries and leather and some smoky vanilla. Medium body in teh mouth, with reltively high acidity adn medium tannin. Black currant , not the elegant style of burg I like.
