Now I see how this wine can be so divisive. LOTS of brett at first, more band-aid than barnyard. Takes a while to get past it and then lots of exotic spices show up. But after 40 minutes in the glass still nothing primary. It’s got the funk I can appreciate in some good left bank Bordeaux but also feels somewhat single-threaded. — 4 years ago
It's Open That Bottle Night(last Sat in Feb), and thought this would be a nice pull to celebrate the occasion.
1 hour decant(decent sediment). A striking still dark garnet with some bricking. On the nose: perfumed stewed cherry/plum, smoked meat, worn leather, cigar ash,milk chocolate, rich soil, some band-aid(brett) Taste: smooth, polished, vibrant wine with plum, tobacco, bitter chocolate, worn leather, earth, and a long graphite coffee ground finish. YUM!!!! — 4 months ago
This 2015 vintage is deeper, brooding, and beautiful. Dark fruit and tobacco with earthy herbs on the nose—mint, cilantro, and dirt—almost like an amaro. — 4 years ago

Held it longer than advisable, but it was still wonderful. Rich makes wine that lasts. Track 6, 2011 is the best guess. — 2 months ago
