Slow o'd for about 3 hours. Initially, way too much funk of the brutish sort. This calmed down to a more pleasant level. There was still a good amount of red fruit mixed in with well-integrated secondary characteristics. Complex and smooth. This met my expectation from the previous bottle 1.5 years ago and exceeded it.

Riesling and Some Reds: Very dark red color. PNP, 2.5oz pour over 40 minutes. This was ready and drinking just great. Lots of funk, damp earth, really floral, blood meal, red rose petals, cherry, graphite. The palate is medium plus bodied, earth, wet leather, blood meal, meaty, cherries, cherry sweet tarts, long finish. This was nicely integrated and well balanced. 92+pts. My and group #1 RWOTN. Can go 5 years.

A lot of fine sediment that we couldn't remove because we were at a restaurant. The nose is traditional southern France. The palate is surprisingly fruity for the age and showing a nice complex old world funk. Well done.

Nose: Wow!!!Dried fruits, ....
Taste: Mediium/light bodied, fruity, earth like taste .... This is wonderful and improves as the wine opens up (30 min)
This is a very fun and surprising wine the nose predicts something wonderful and you taste something else that is wonderful.
