some bricking; nice nose; fruit is more lean now, so you notice the (good) oak; great acidity that stands up to BBQ ribeye; i don't get any brett.

4th of 6 bottles, last consumed about 2 yrs ago.
Evolving beautifully, this House is always a thriller for me, showing red and black fruits, savory spices, iodine, perhaps anise.
Gorgeous tannic structure and medium acidity, this is mature and lovely and will easily drink well for another 5+ years.

Decanted, which is needed for sediment at a minimum. Dark fruits which show advanced and perhaps even slightly stewed. Earth, celery and savory notes. Dry, good, but not quite right. Bought upon release and properly stored. Not scored.

this is just slightly heat damaged/oxidized. The nose is much more advanced than the age would indicate. There is something there to make you want to drink it......until you actually drink it. The tannins are dried out and this just doesn't show off the expressiveness that I expect from Valdicava.
