WTN: Turley Charbono TofanelliVnyd '00...(short/boring)

Tried this last night:
1. Turley Charbono TofanelliVnyd/NapaVlly (14.2%) StHelena 2000: Dark color w/ some browning; very strong vanilla/toasty/Am.oak some earthy/dusty/loamy rather bretty/barnyardy/horsecollar slight spicy/blackberry some complex nose; soft/fat/flat quite bretty/horsecollar/barnyardy earthy/loamy slight spicy/blackberry/Charbono/earthy flavor w/ light bit drying tannins; long rather Am.oak/vanilla/toasty quite bretty/barnyardy/horsecollar earthy/loamy/Charbono finish w/ some drying/astringent tannins; starting to dry out and become rather tired; way too bretty/barnyardy for my taste.

1. This would have been a wine made under EhrenJordan's watch. Don't often get brett in the Turly wines, but this was way over the top. Useful only for jump-starting the bacterial action in your septic tank.
