Great nose. Leather, roses, tar. Intense fruit. I’ll wait a bit. Drying a bit after an hour. Not quite as fresh as you’d hope.. nice wine but have had better bottles

Even if it wasn't cooked, the brett is just too much. Clean your damn cellar and let the site and vintage show through.

Pairing with eggplant parm. Tastes like a rose garden. Elegant, with tea notes and a touch of tar. Drinking wonderfully

Fully mature (surprisingly?) and fantastic. Tar/black tea/leather but light and supple with a perfect balance of acid.

Garnet color. Spice, leather and black fruit on the nose. Balanced palate with the same characteristics, with a distinct herbal component. Very long finish.
