  Some freshly sliced mushroom and beef pho on the nose with some planed ginger and hints of lemongrass. Palate is fully resolved with some agreeable savouriness and meaty interest. This was popped and poured, another 500ml tomorrow evening.

  Decanted for 90 minutes, this has a brooding nose of cedar, blackcurrant, hawthorn, sliced mushroom and the faintest hint of grated milk chocolate. Palate is a little foursquare, some smoky fruits and some more of that hawthorn.

  From before the estate elevated its wine, this is a good every day drinker coming to the end of its drinking window.

  4/25/2016 - ucbeau Does not like this wine: 79 Points

  Opened approximately 30-40 minutes prior to serving, not decanted. Followed in the glass for about an hour and a half.
  
  Pours a very pretty, young garnet. Initial notes show strong barnyard, dried wood, and cassis. Subtle dried herbs work their way in.
  
  Too much brett on the palate for me, it ended up smothering everything else. Took away all the nuance and balance that I expect from a 15 year old Bordeaux. Firm tannins remain, but without any fruit behind it, this seemed hollow and disjointed. Tobacco, earth, barnyard, band-aid all dominated.
  
  Truly disappointing.

  Rated 87 by CellarTrackers. Good and distinctive for its price. Needs 30 minutes to open up.
