Really, an earthy nose here... Cherry, yes... But in a way that I'd characterize as savory black forest cake if it was made of compost instead of sweet chocolate... On the palate, the dominant note I think would be graphite, but with the fuzzy tannins in there, it's not in a precise sense... A dull pencil in need of sharpening? At this point I'd probably need to also describe some green here... Green pepper? Tomato plant? Going back to the nose, I get the aroma now too... Gardening... This wine isn't lightweight... A sausage dish is I think where I'd go as far as pairing as there's some acidity here that could be useful for taming fat. We had this one paired with a flank steak, but really I might go to a fattier cowboy steak next time. The longer I enjoy this wine, the longer the finish seems to get... These tannins are a heck of a drug... With every sip, I actually want to savor more and more... A viscious cycle... — 5 days ago

Solo project by Adam Mason from Mulderbosch. Sourced from 3 distinct sites. Alluring juicy yellow Apple and lemon meringue, marshmallows and a creaminess that comes from something other than malo. Not in the States, alas. — 7 years ago

Color of beautiful gold. Nose is beautiful, with nutty fragrance, ice wine like honey notes, spice and mineral, and even good aldehyde. Taste is smooth and silky, with mineral, ripe fruit, nutty flavors, light Sauternes flavors, dried strawberries, mineral, complex and clean. Aftertaste of some spiciness, some green apple, zest, a bit mineral, tangerine, and savory. Like it a lot. — 5 years ago
