Very crumbly cork part of which fell into the bottle (should have used a different corkscrew). Slight brettiness/forest floor in the nose. Medium body. Much better than expected from the reviews. Cassis, dark cherry, with a slight dryness and mineral on the finish. Altogether a much more enjoyable wine. I expected to pop it and pour it...down the drain.

Dark red, youthful. As I feared, the nose is spoiled by brett (wet wood/burning rubber). The fruit is solid, juicy and youthful. This was a bad period for this winery. Do they have the problem under control?

Held up extremely well in the 6L format. Was the hit of the party.
