Extremely good. Fresh, clean, dark fruit, earthy and lots of grip. Will hold for a while but was showing well with a 30 minute decant.

Sour and juicy red fruit with a lovely spiced character. Medium bodied, grippy tannins.

Big ripe cherry and blueberry fruit with tons of brambly, wild, herbaceous, and volcanic undertones to create a truly complex and harmonious experience. Lovely.

Just a really enjoyable wine that is both hearty and even “ big” but still refreshing. Clearly some Brett and some effervescent feel like may hint at VA, but I find both to be well integrated and enjoyable. A deep darker-side-of-red fruit profile: red and damson plum, dried red cherry, Black licorice, olive. Has a floral sense to it, and some exotic woody undertones as well earth - like a forest after the rain . A full bodied and almost lush wine that might recall the mouthfeel if a Napa cab, but with much more refreshing a acidity coming through - never the least bit cloying or overwrought. Simply a great wine with a broad food pairing potential. That said, I do wonder if it would taste dramatically different at the source. With zero sulphur amidst a long boat ride, life in distributor warehouses, a wine shop and ultimately my euro cave, whether the original intent is preserved in its entirety. Def I a great window , it Seems like peak drinking might be 2-3 years ahead, still, again, the no sulphur and the Brett/va...
