Full of (good) funk. Singular and compelling.

Meaty, complexing brett. Rich, long, earthy. Endearing old school style.

Shows fully mature aromas and flavors, a little Brett, but not overpowering, lovely complexity and balance, starting to show more as it aerates, lovely.

This bottle is definitely mature, color is still solid, but some mature flavors, good, not great.

Some brett aromas up front and on palate, also balanced redfruits on palate, still somewhat youthful and the acidity should carry this for some time, medium-long finish, lovely aged CdP (with the caveat that those sensitive to any level of brett may not like this at all).
