Touch of va and a lot of Brett giving a touch of effervescence. Root beer, red sour cherry, bitter brown spice. Elegant and bright. No cooked or dried tones to the fruit, amazing

Still plenty of ripe black fruit, maturing gracefully with leather. and smoked meat. Slightly more earth and leather than fruit, but everything is in balance. Probably a year or three past its peak, but still drinking well. Tasted strong for 2 hours, then started getting muddy.

Black cherry and plum with leather and braised meat character. Faint earth. Still a little rugged, but better overall balance vs a bottle from last year.

Cellar find. Excellent! Killer nose, full fruit and vibrant acidity. Fully alive and singing.
