Big, bold funk bomb, an amazing example of what terroir can do to a wine. Ultra sour all the way through, even on the second night. Raspberries picked fresh from the side of the road, pickled strawberry, Japanese plum. I wish I had more!

A nice if somewhat unexceptional CdP. On the jammier side for the style, on the first night it was all fruit, with subtle complexity only showing up on night two. I probably could have held on to it longer, but after a different bottle was a bust I needed a replacement quick.

Not great. Big vanilla candy taste, gummy mouthfeel. Nothing else to it. It felt pretty out-of-whack.
