Sawdust and drywall on the nose. Also industrial steel beam. Spice as well. Black pepper subtleties. Vanilla oak and dill on the palate. Fine tannins.

It has a lot of brett. I think that's the horse poopish taste. It has a sage flavor that kicks in on the sip and then goes to the sawdusty bite.

Taking on chocolate notes that weren't there a couple years ago. More mushroom on the nose as well that wasn't there before. More dark cherry than I've ever picked up before. Minimal tannin at this point. Not loving the finish. This is past it's prime.

Prominent hint of green pepper with dark fruits very smooth

2011 just a bad year. Grassy taste without much body. Disappointing for Nickle & Nickle

Delicious. More of a bite day two I think, so gulp up when opened. Lots of variety in nose and pallet.
