Now way past prime. Very animal smelling with hints of pinot fruit and some wood. Taste was biting acid with some earthy musty red fruit and a cola punch with actual fizz! This could have been spoiled, but I dont think so, it was more weak and odd.

Very gamey, almost Gevry like. A little acidic for my taste but the fruit was there. Needs to come together better to be more complete but a very Burgundian feel.

When I had this last, it lacked concentration, bouquet and flavor. Other than that, it was perfect. Since then, it has not gained any concentration but it has made grand strides on the nose. I got a mess of sandalwood, tea bag, toe cheese, musk and ethanol. Oh yeah, there was some cloyingly sweet red fruit. The palate was a bit acid and acrid. All in all, more an experiment than a pleasure.
