  Day 1: Sad Elephant Seven closed doors. This is excellent featuring black pepper, blackberries, black licorice, floral and spice. Medium plus finish. 92+
  Day 2: Blue currants, spice, black pepper, rose petals, dust, tar and exotic spices. Medium plus finish and even better with a day. 93 points
  Day 3: Holding form with black pepper, minerals, blue currants, tar, spice, floral and dust. Medium plus finish. A great value. 93 points
  Recommendation: Look via auctions.

  Well this is showing amazing and much better than 2019. Still young for an 08 so think through 2030. Black pepper, tar, spice, cherry, plum, dust and violets. Still some heat that blew off. Decanted 2 hours and maybe could have used more. Great auction purchase.

  Well an acquired taste and you better like the "funk" to even attempt this wine. Barnyard, spice, sour cherry and dust. Unique would be an understatement here. Medium finish.

  Well not surprised anyone on tracker has ever had this wine and let me tell you an outstanding wine from Tom and Bruna. Thought this was a rocks Syrah! Funk, red currants, stone, gravel, floral and spices. Medium plus finish and nice acidity. A truly excellent experience and my first note from Brazil.
