An uneven wine living up to an uneven vintage. Decanted for 1.5 hours and wine never changed much (although nose opened up a bit more). Mild smoke and fruit on nose but it mostly died on palate. It almost felt like a whisper of what Trapet can be.

Like it/ neutral. My reaction mixed. Was the wine past its best, or is this my reaction to the style of the vigneron? A bit too austere, not giving enough fruit, and the acidity rising as the wine warmed in the glass.
Rated 1 on a scale of -1 to 3, mostly for the experience, not the taste.

A little on the fence here. Clearly in a developed stage with some nice barnyard and soy sauce. I liked the 'dirty nose'. This was layered and enjoyable, but I felt a bit lean. Which stops it really hitting high marks. Served blind by ST Drink now. I doubt this will get better.

Quite earthy and savoury on the palate despite showing hint of fruit purity parallelly.
