Carter White

Crazy nose on this one - very meaty and jerky-like, with hints of fresh tennis balls and the strong scent a bull elephant in musth. On the palate, light and fruity initially, finishing with that meaty, musthy flavor from the nose. Mellowed quite a bit after being open a couple of hours, into more of a traditional Beaujolais, with just a hint of pepper and that funkiness that dominated at the start.
