Can see- taste!- why folks have mixed feelings- I get the funky Brett on the opening nose, whilst palate is fizzy, candied cherry. Integrating over a couple days. — 3 years ago

High class glou-glou- light red fruit, balanced spice and sous-bois. Nice for days and days. — 5 years ago

Textbook sapidity, resin & white peach skin...such a lovely change of pace from a year of Galicia whites! — 5 years ago

Ah, I get why Freisa gets little respect- deceptively light open, indeed, strawberry/raspberry acidity, vague mid palate, earthy, chalky but short tannin post...but it’s a very enjoyable, edumacational evolution! — 5 years ago

Still fruity and primary at seven years, slight pretty deep rose or violet to my impaired nose, cake spice and berries on palate, open since Monday night and want to hold a bit for tomorrow, still…but it’s a deep California glou-glou! — 3 years ago

Apologies to dear, dear wine mentor Grahm, this is a superb IMproper Claret from Pinot Gris, yet! Red currant? Guava depth soundings, tamed acerola lift... I am a most fond old man... — 5 years ago

Pop on second tasting suggests residual sugar. Full bodied, good acidity but missing the bell pepper pyrazines that add some complexity to cab franc…OK. — 4 years ago

Nasty mans may call this ‘disjointed’, I am floored by rich n complex: buttery butterscotch nose yields to spicier, lighter palate- dare I say tangerine, bergamot? Hold on to your wines if you trust to your allotted lifespan, folks. Especially if they’re Donkey&Goat. — 5 years ago

Shame the Brett barnyard doesn’t integrate better with the lovely berry-cherry undertones swirling about...three days in, funkadelic subsided into pleasant, easy drinking juice. — 5 years ago
