  February 2, 2013 - Opened and got an overwelming bretty sickley antiseptic scent. Over the course of two hours very little changed. I simply hate this smell in wine. i really wanted to love this wine, but could not get over the smell. Tannins were soft and the finish medium...not bad at all on the pallete. Put the bottle in the fridge and went to bed dissapointed once again with a bottle of aged bdx. Next day pulled the bottle out to warm up and poured a glass. Antiseptic smell was gone and the wine was completely transformed. Still some brettyness, but the good savory meaty kind. Hints of dark fruit and green pepper. Some dried leaves as well. Lesson learned....don't be afraid to give an aged wine a nice long decant.
