From magnum, with a very high fill and the cork was popping out a ¼ inch. Despite that, we killed this bottle in short order - such freshness of fruit and minerality, with very bright acid. Crazy wine, crazy good!

Dirt. Sweat. Rocks. Classic Cornelissen: compellingly unappetizing.

Volcano wine! Mt. Etna field blend. No sulfur. Funktastic with tons on minerality but bright fruit.
