Triple decanted, loads of swirling, notes from 1.5 hrs open. On the nose: more brett than the usual Cameron mushroomy funk, very reduced also, with some serious sulphur, then cherry syrup, soft soy notes. On the palate: great acidity, lovely wild strawberry fruit, soft mushroom, then loads of finely grained tannin on the finish. So juicy on the backend. Lovely, but not as good as the '17 imo..drank alongside the '14..this is in the same ballpark and also like the 16s. Holy cow, 13.7% ABV; is that a CE record?
