Jan 23rd, 2016Rather a disappointment. Perhaps in a rough place. Shut down, unyielding and austere. When it finally opened up, it was all Brett - and more than a bit to add complexity. It dominated the whole of the wine. That certainly doesn't bode well for aging.

Jul 16th, 2015A tiny whisper of brett? Maybe. Maybe not. What matters here is a silky texture and an evolving and complex palate of flavors. A delicious and versatile wine. True to its place. Paired well with both pork and beef tonight. At 12.5 abv an almost dangerously easy bottle. Great to become with this producer.
