Fascinating to taste, several years on. Smokey, phenolic spicy notes, some oxidative notes. A touch volatile too, as noted by other tasters.

The wine was great. But the bottle had a lot of junk. If it didn't have junk it would be a 10

Dusted this solo at the BEACH because people don't like good shit apparently. I really think j brix is probably one of the best in California. They're 2/2 so far.
