June 8, 2018 - I blame myself for not decanting this bottle properly. I only had it standing upright for a couple of days and that clearly wasn't enough. So it's a bit cloudy from very small-grained sediment. Although it still seems to settle quite a bit in the decanter. We'll see. Anyway nothing too serious. Even the nose is quite open and there's plenty of sunny fruit and sweet licorice left on the palate. Refined wood character. Rust and blood maybe emphasized a bit by the omnipresent sediment. But hey, rather good!
EDIT: gets way more clear with time in the decanter. Lesser body - brighter aromas. A really good wine.
As funny and unique as the fancy stubby bottle looks, it's a rather silly design as the inside of the neck gets quite a bit more narrow towards the mouth! Getting the soft cork out wasn't exactly easy...
