Sherry-like oxidized nose, it reveals much more in the mouth and beyond. Beautiful crystallized strawberry. Extremely hard to describe. Very very good.

Feral and fuzzy on the nose, with obvious Brett or -like scents. Once in the mouth, however, it transforms into a kaleidoscope of flowers from violet to magnolia to orange blossom. Beautiful in the mouth, even if meaty and bandaged on the nose.

The nose itself has some tension, with black licorice giving way to some stewed black fruits in the mouth with some tannin that is still slightly chalky. Finally it reveals a bit of jammy dark fruit. A bit perplexing, changing.
