The risk of opening this when you're dining alone at home is that you might drink a full bottle and open a second one!

Bottle tasted in September 2014.
I truly hope that this so-called "simple" wine, organic and biodynamic, is not supposed to smell and taste the way this bottle tasted: the nose was so unpleasant that I can only describe as putrid.
In the mouth it tasted very unpleasant.
I was so embarrassed with my guests.....

Smells like savory red licorice and tastes like the POP! of biting through the skin of almost-ripe cherries and cranberries, the sharp, tangy juice bursting into every corner of your mouth. Youthful and bright, simple but super fun.

Dark cherry funk. Tangy, good grip, and good length. Natural and funky, but not too funky. Very agreeable

Natural wine made biodynamically. High acidity, clean and refreshing. Alcohol not too noticeable. Bramble fruit and plum skin. High tannins, relatively well integrated. Pretty good stuff.
