Well I was expecting it to be tired but it stills hold quite nicely. Lost power and intensity but nice experience

1998. Plum, barnyard with some menthol notes. Still extremely fresh.

On the way back down but intriguing enough. Gaeta olives, savory dry meat, a good bit of Brett, and dry hot earth

Rustic Syrah awesomeness. Clearly from a difficult to farm vineyard. Winning.

First whiff: lovely Brett, reminding of a never cleaned public toilet at a motorway parking lot.
Luckily Brett subsides: fresh sweat, cherry, red flowers, old coffee beans, blueberry, marzipan, violets and hibiscus.
Med body, cherry, pepper palate with almost burgundy Pinot mouthfeel and acidity.
Cherry skin, violet, pepper aftertaste. Great surprise.
