It’s weird! Fruity and light like a Pinot noir but floral and herby like caraway and the lightest fennel. 8.7 on the tastiness but gets a bump for being interesting.

Not bad for the price- feel like it needs a little time. Would drink again, maybe with some hardier food

There's a dirty earthiness to this wine. There's an herbaceous aspect to the palate. Difficult to drink

More restrained than I would've liked. Will likely open up more in the future. Quite fruit forward.
