"Rustic beauty. Complex ripe black fruits, dates, mushroom, dried leaves, leather, cedar, vanilla and smoke kept alive by juicy acidity and framed by firm tannins. Long finish. Brett notes add complexity and don't overpower the wine. Wants cinghiale (wild boar)! or mushroom risotto. Outstanding (unless you can't abide some Brett :) ) and great value. 2011 tasted 16 Jan 2019."
