Some funk on the nose which seemed to dissipate with a little air. That being said, I like a little funk. Super leathery and earthy with a bit of background fruit. A fine wine which is showing nicely now but I wouldn't cellar it much longer. I think it will pair nicely with my barbeque ribs.

Real nice! Funk much less prevalent than previous years, and nice black fruit in a great balance. Versatile with food too. This is its peak I would imagine.

Oh yes, funk, barnyard and leather for sure. I'm thinking a little brett but not over the top. That being said, I like it and I think it adds to the complexity of the wine. Some underlying fruit. I think it is at a good spot now. I don't think it will gain much from additional cellaring. Very Rhone like. I wish I had more.

Some serious funk (centipede as my wife likes to refer to it as) and vegetal notes both on the nose and palate. It got better on days 2 and 3 and while the wine has seemingly evolved, I'm not sure it's stylistically to my liking.
