Very dark clear garnet with a touch of crimson-ruby under the light. There is an interesting lychee-breadfruit-black raspberry mix on the nose. Slightly sour and slightly herbal with wild ligonberry, a slight sense of umami, sour raspberries, all with a soft mouth-feel and somewhat aggressive acids. It would do with pizza or by itself in a Passify the hobos in the rail-car pinch.

Medium ruby with a touch of browning. Rich red berries, caramel apples, and prunes on the delicious nose. Light on the palate and very interesting. Wild red berries, sour tannins in the most delicious way, and an extended finish that sits in the back of your throat and tantalizes your senses for minutes. Notes of mandarin zest appear as well. The closest thing I could compare it to would be an aged Chianti without the weight.

Cloudy orange-ruby color with a hint of brown. Must, raspberries, some mushroom and spices with wild strawberries on the nose. Acrid raspberries on the attack with strawberries far into a delayed finish. A little flat and well past its prime but the lovely secondary red fruit notes make this wine sing.

Lite apricot in color. Strong tangerine with minerals on the nose; the tangerine fades in intensity fairly intensely. Slightly watery texture with a sense of wood and apricots dominating. Slightly effervescent. Very well-matched with Indian cuisine in Glasgow; I don’t think I would care to drink it alone.

Light and mostly clear medium bright ruby. Strawberries and raspberries with a touch of lingonberry on the nose. Lovely balance between a mild sweetness, a pleasant tartness, and perfect accompanying acids. Notes of light pomegranate, raspberries, and light garrigue. There is a tiny bit of funk in the finish along with the red berries and garrigue. Pleasant.

3/23/2024 - TexasBob Likes this wine:

Light hay color with a touch of light gold and some bubbles. Light lime zest, light plantain leaves, and lemon curd on the very pleasant nose. Mineral citrus dominates
Slightly oily texture that is uncompromised by the firm acids and that lasts throughout and accompanies well the finish, where a walnut-esque bitterness joins the flavor melange. The tiniest bit of effervescence that correlates to the bubbles. Pleasant banana leaf and lemon curd notes throughout the stages. Pleasant and reminds me in some ways of a more mineral Sancerre with more noticeable alcohol. Pleasant, especially on a warm day.

Light gold color at first glance but very light hay under the light . Yellow squash and yellow plum and perhaps a touch of gooseberry on the nose. Quite acidic on the attack hints of effervescence and with yellow squash dominating with a touch of Meyer lemon and oily star fruit. Not to my goute. 85/100

Dark garnet with bright ruby under the light. Watermelon rind - the interior part after you’ve got eaten the flesh - is dominant on the nose followed by mixed berries and a hint of black soil. Deceptively light on the attack with hints of mint and eucalyptus that transitions to cassis, black soil, and mulberries, the latter two of which dominate a long finish and which is rejoined by the mint and eucalyptus and, at the very end, cocoa powder. Fascinating and tasty. On the thinner side body-wise with strong acids; overall a very complete wine that is very approachable early.

Light good color. caramelized white cherries with custard and the faintest hint of Meyer lemon on the nose . Mildly sweet with a soft texture with notes of durian dominating (absent the unpleasant smell) with faint Meyer lemon, graham cracker, and a touch of Ecuadorian Honey Dragonfruit. Really good.

Extremely dark and clear garnet with hints of crimson. Dense blackberries and a touch of vanillin on the nose. Superb wine with notes of soft red plum, blackberries, coffee, and mulberries and a very long finish. While it is still early in its evolution, it is perfectly integrated and will only improve with a few more years. Very soft velvety texture. It makes me sad to contemplate the inevitable Skyrocketing in price of this wine once the producer is discovered.
