Dark brooding tawny color. Opaque. Tight nose with notes of black fruit, cask wood and spice. Big and heavy in the mouth. Nice impression on the finish.

Number 1000! Very modern and fruit forward. Dark cherry, iron, leather. Still has a ways to go.

Hints of brett on the nose with some salty meat (salami/clams). The palate is all fruit with plum, currant, and a little forrest floor. Alcohol shows through on the palate. Recommend drinking now especially with the noticeable level of brett.

Look at the crust on this bottle! Not as good as previous bottles. Earthy, funky, a bit pruney, forest floor. Drink up.

98 to James Suckling. But an 88 to us. I just think it wasn't meant to age 17+ years.
