Fresh and with so much savory fruit, but really needs time as the tannins are imposing. Really needed the steak! — a month ago
No formal notes. A burnt brassy colour. It’s difficult to imagine a white wine with more flavour intensity than this skin contact Orange wine from Gravner. From memory apricot and mandarin peel, walnuts. Great palate length, low acid. Went well with a rich fish dish where I would normally have a light Pinot Noir. — a year ago
Yummy fizzy SL wines, not as plain/dry as some but would buy again. Mineral. — 4 years ago
Wow 🤩 - Deep gold color. Aromas of burnt honey, pineapple, dried apricot, passion fruit and eucalyptus. Simply divine on the palate - orange, apricot and dried fruit.

@Severn Goodwin doesn’t know I lifted this from his cellar. Far too pricey for a Rose.
As different as the most considered typical Rose.
Splendid but, if you are expecting Bandol or new world, this is probably not for you.
I entitled this bottle shot, Roses for Rasado.
Notes of sherry, vermouth, rhubarb, concentrated British tea sack. Geraniums & pink Roses. Gravel powder, dry top soil, burnt, brown sugar, blood orange, underripe pink grapefruit, dry floral bouquet. Excellent, well balanced finished.
Crazy good change of pace.

Still fairly primary. The fruit on the nose is remarkable. The purest apricot, and a little lightly burnt brown sugar, lots of flowers. Intense in the mouth. Not that sweet, and pretty good acids. Great length. This will go a long time. Delicious now, and certainly much better down the road. — 6 days ago
browner colour, smells of burnt caramel, apricots, amber honey - very syrup-y. not as sweet as the other port. tastes like raisins, maple syrup-esque. tastes similar to the maple syrup taffy/lollipops. not as fruity as the other port. after chocolate the flavours are softened and honestly not as sweet — 8 months ago

Earthy, blue fruit, smoked pork, olive brine, more alcohol on the nose than I recall, nice cigar smoke, dark ruby almost purple yet bright still, terroir driven with a sense of place. I feel like royalty with every sip. — 7 days ago
