    March 27, 2021 - For me, pop and pour was undrinkable... musky, animal, thick, barnyard. But not in a charming way, just a bit of a brute. As you’d expect from a great producer in a top vintage. Decided to stick the cork back in after 1/2 glass, and try day 2 after a day in the fridge.
    Day 2 was enjoyable, especially after a couple of hours air after it rose to about 18 degrees. Then it was more about dark juicy fruit, aromatic fun animal punch, a bit of salt lick. Will of course be awesome in 10 years but if you’re contemplating now, a mega decant is recommended.
