Very complex but well-balanced and mellow. It does have a strong “barnyard” fragrance on the nose.

2015 vintage. Has a good dose of Brett on it, though you still get fruit and nuance, so it's not unbearable. Cassis, licorice, horse barn, Band-aid, black rocks, blackberry, mullberry, green stem, stale warm spices, stale tobacco. Grippy structure and firmly in the earthy spectrum. Got at anniversary dinner at Affäre.
