Tasting of 1999 2nd growths. Brown-orange colored edges typical with age. Strong barnyard and oxidized aromas. Leathery tobacco flavors but a slightly bitter finish.

Surprised by how well this showed, especially with a little time.

Good lawd the Brett! Decomposing forest floor, barnyard, acidic verve, deep yet subtle fruit, and loamy finish. Great wine if you can handle or like the funk.
