Nice wine with good amount of fruit, earthy flavours and great acid. Long finish.

This was really unique and special. A nose that has some proper wild hints, like a natural wine, but with big bold fruits and an underlying musk, like a wet mulch, that playing in the background. Medium bodied with a deep red/purple color, the palate is more red fruit than the blue on the nose, with hardly any tannins to speak of. The palate has no sign of age, with prominent tart cranberry, rich minerality, slight smoke, and hints like Concorde grape, and some jammy raspberry or blueberry in there as well. Dry, fruity with a mineral spine, with a weight that plays lighter than it looks or smells.

Fine spirit, balanced acidity and a strong earthy sidenote in a fruity foundation

Balanced and enticing...can't wait to get another one to lay down if there are any left at Discovery Wines!

2008. Fun right out of the bottle, but wins with some air. Also has developed tartaric sediment, so it should be decanted. First glass was great, for the second we thought it needs food (cassoulet for example). So not a great soloist. We thought sweaty horse, maybe that means Brett. Animalic and red-fruity nose. Ample sweetness on the palate. Very good.
