On the nose earthy, spicy, notes of barnyard, with some time in the glass quite cheesy. Quite hard on the palate, woody, at times hints of a slight cork taint. Spicy without showing much fruit, lots of acidity, out of balance. Based on this bottle I would recommend to drink up. 85-87?

Decanted, the wine had no sediment at all. Ruby red color. On the nose some barnyard, tar, dark fruits and sous bois. On the palate, this is overly sweet, thin and with a ridiculously short finish. Thank god I had only bought one bottle!

Grand-Puy Ducasse vertical tasting (Terkels appartment): Medium red color with a brown rim. Barnyard and animal sweat jumps out of the glass together with a bit of earthy raspberry. Slightly hazy on the palate, but nice rustic nuances. Good length.

Sabon Prestige/Secret Vertical (Restaurant AOC): Animalistic nose.
The palate has a solid depth with red currants coming through and a fair amount of acidity. A rustic wine.

Not as good as I remember the last bottle. Seemed a bit weak and dilute.
