I had this over a couple of days and it improved with time. It’s a medium bodied, fairly rustic new world Rhône blend. You really get the whole cluster fermentation straight away, maybe a bit too much today but might integrate more in with further cellaring. On the palate it has an inky texture and plenty of fruits, olives, earth, herbs and a distinct note of salty liquorice. A bottle to revisit in the future. — 9 months ago
Bright berries, bramble, cocoa, sage; moderate tannins #undergroundceller #coronavino — 3 years ago
More advanced than the last bottle, initially I thought too advanced… but credit to the Somm at The Modern for talking me off the metaphorical ledge. Developed nicely in glass, more honey than creaminess. Wouldn’t give bottles any more time. — 4 months ago
To receive the edge...
Light shadows in dark
Cast into center stage
Words scurry the lip
Stars align space to Park
Bottled purity in her Cage
Roaring truth Drips
Stung on edge
Beyond depths hold
Her mind waits
Thought brought to ledge
Feelings within fold
Tempering the dates

Aldi advent beers. Ruby rose grapefruit juice color and hazy. Spittle white with bubbles to match. Firewood dropped by tentacles lacing. Ghost squid. Pronounced grapefruit nose is halved, sprinkled with sugar and topped with a maraschino cherry like grandma made for breakfast. Hedge apple blossom, magnolia too. Lemon bread. Pineapple essence. Tart and tasty palate features white and ruby grapefruit that steps off a ledge and plunges to pith and pear, orange peel and zested ginger. Tastes very natural.

The nose of a cooling blackberry pie on a windows ledge.
This has heft, and you can tell the love that went into this. All the dark berries, yet in the brighter side - elegant, I wish I had bought a case. So, so good. Tangy lip smacking acidity with tannin overtures. — 4 years ago

Solid cab. Opened and drank slowly over 3.5 hours. Bouquet of fruit aromas upon opening that were well integrated and not overwhelming at first sip. — 3 months ago
