4th botlle of this wine tasted. Immediatelly upon opening there is huge wood and barnyard, the wine needed to be opened for one day to take the strong odor out, which I quite like anyway. Even after airing this wine would not be a treat for someone who does not like wood as there is quite a lot in the wine. Looking at my last tasting notes from drinking the 3rd and 2nd bottle in November 2012 the wine changed a lot in the bottle. Downside of the wine is relatively flat and ordinary mouth profile.
