Sunday, February 6, 2022 - -- decanted approx. 45 min. before initial taste --
-- tasted non-blind over 2.5 hrs. --

NOSE: savory and dark-fruited: dark olives and purple fruits; moderately expressive; not overtly funky, but there is an aspect that reminds me of carbonic maceration, and there's also an off-putting hint of something that comes across as sour brett.

BODY: garnet-violet color of great depth; medium-light to medium bodied.

TASTE: purple-fruited with a savory bent; gently tannic; medium acidity; alc. is a little bit noticeable; not as good as prior vintages I've tried; carbonic-feeling on the palate a bit -- zesty & slightly sour --- something weird going on, but not obviously flawed.

50, 5, 10, 14, 6 = 85
