Funky aromatics dominate with barnyard and wet leather overwhelming any fruit expression. The palate shows decent structure but lacks the bright, juicy character that defines this cuvée. Olive and herb notes add some interest, yet the wine feels fundamentally flawed by Brett or other microbial issues.
