May 9th, 2018Really surprised at the other ratings. This is loaded with brett. Hard pressed to score it this well. High in the funk category.

Mar 17th, 2017I had the distinct pleasure of tasting this wine Monday in Seattle. The mag was open for 2 hours and still hAd that tannic bite. Along with the over-the-top complex notes of dirt, tobacco, dark cherries, etc. I will surely remember this pour. $383 / 98pts.
