Nicely done. I like the Amphora texture and acidity. Queveri-ish. Good food wine. For on its own enjoyment, would love to see lightly topped with late harvest Roussanne. Lemon+Honey 🐝
I also want to bury the Amphora ceremoniously, with you (Bradley) and Randall Grahm.... on an eclipse/lunar biodynamic magical night, you already got the patio with a firepit to fulfill the bonfire... cow horns and crystals for everyone :) haha — 3 years ago
Not even surprised. Rick went to his cellar and slapped his you know what on the table. This is a beautiful example of Bdx.
Cow dung nose gives way to a sweet, textured palate. Tannins are close to be resolved, but zero tertiary notes. Great acid structure completes an excellent presentation from a lack luster vintage - boys w/end in Pittsburgh. — 3 years ago

45+ minute decant and could have benefitted from more. Mix of red and purple colors. Amazing nose! Floral, earth, cow shit, and smoke. Resembled some very high end Bordeaux’s. Wine gets interesting from there. Lots of spice, minimal fruit, and a smooth texture. Short finish. Pretty good value and I want to try again. — 3 years ago

Smells like a Halloween store of a taxedermy shop, with notes of seaweed, fresh squashed plums, and a HINT of balsamic vinegar and maybe even iron, or blood at the end after some air and time. Wow what a weird nose but it’s kinda awesome! The palate was much lighter than I expected but the tannins still gripped, but gently, like chinchilla hands. With slightly smoky and jammy notes, fresh and a slight reverberating acidity in the background, like a murmur, with prominent plum, Concorde grape, and a slightly herbal finish. — 6 months ago
