  Ullage into neck. Decanted and tasted over 2h.
  
  Opens with significant barnyard aromas. Smoke and a tiny bit of brett. The oak is well integrated even though this era is notorious for its heavy handed use. Aromas evolve and anis emerges after 20 minutes. The barnyard tends to blow off.
  
  Flavours remain heady and bold despite its age. The wine is fleshy and medium full. The wine opens up and gets spicier after 30 minutes.
  
  Overall, this was a nice surprise for both of us. Quite enjoyable, alive and generous at age 22. This is not a reserve bottling, certainly a vote of confidence for the fruit quality at this estate.
  
  Filter and drink up.
