Definitely has that D&G house style overlaid on some really lovely California Mourvedre fruit. Bright and twangy with underlying funk and animal qualities. Lots of grapefruit and peach. Didn't budge much over two days, I'd be curious to see this in another 5 years.

Ripe, but not over extracted. Definitely something to revisit.

Unbelievable wine. So fresh with typical donkey and goat funk, but the fruit is beautiful with jasmine, chocolate undertones. Fantastic!

Even better if we'd waited a year or so but still really enjoyed it. Crisp, tart... Love it!

This is so interesting. It's got a lot of cherry going on, but it's light and sour. Like a sour beer. Wow.
