Utterly fantastic. Energy and balance...what every wine should have. Apple cider, apple peel, crushed cinnamon stick. Jazzy acidity and the vaguest perceived tannins.

[2013] mid-deep amber brown color. Oxy and apply on nose; yeasty/sherry flor notes. Attacks with cider-like acidity ; feel it on front of tongue. Is that malic? How, given the color & nose, can that be?! Flavor of mulled apple cider, not much else. Prickles, the acidity, all the way through. Engaging, for novelty, but not delish.

Honeysuckle, Jasmine on the nose. Rounded and layered on the palate. A treat!

Just didn’t quite come together as a package although interesting. Alcohol a little high, a bit muddy in colour. Not a wine I could drink for enjoyment- more for interest
