I liked the initial nose and flavors of this wine, but it suffered with time as the structure came forward and the fruit retreated. Others spoke of barnyard and that's probably true, but generally I like barnyard. This may be a casualty of age, which surprised me, but possibly the fruit has run its course and is now simply now match for the backbone. I hold the other 2 bottlings intended to be held longer and hopefully the balance there has held up better.
