Full of (good) funk. Singular and compelling.

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

Super clean and still quite youthful, this is a GREAT example of a 1980s CdP from a vintage of little surmaturite, so awesome balance and perfect acidity suggests this vintage will easily last another 5-10 years!!

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.
