Aromas of Bacon, savoury berry, leather and thistles. Plummy on the palate. Only a tiny hint of Brett which actually adds complexity and interest. Purists will hate this but that’s my impression. 72 weeks ago I said this wine had no Brett but it is now poking its head up and Brett only becomes more apparent with age so I need to drink the remaining few bottles I have. Great value for $20. Had another bottle 6 weeks later on 6th July 2019. Still a little Brett there but not unpleasantly so. Will be interesting to see how it shows next day but largely consistent notes to the tasting from 6 weeks ago.

Drinking really well. Poundable even. Nose full of flowers, red meat and earth. Built for pleasure.
