Pop and pour. Lovely nose with sauvage herbs, a soft touch of earthy funk, bright, sweet, wild strawberry, a touch of watermelon. On the palate, fantastic acidity, with a citrus zing, loads of wet stone, bitter herbs, a touch of charcoal, red fruit, and a soft finish.

Leafy, underbrush and sour cherry, light cherry, on the nose. Mint, tree bark, forest scents. A wild nose. Untamed. Palate is juicy, light and elegant. Rustic and engaging. Nice texture and tons of acid. Minerals galore. Very good. Better with food.

Stinky. Maybe a bit too natural leading to bottle variation?

Tart strawberry, forest floor. Super light and translucent. Pink/orange color like nothing else. Singular stuff that I could drink all day. Shame that this is the second to last vintage for Puffeney.

Nice acid and heat. Strawberry, cherry, earthy (mushroom). Expands on the palate, but subtle finish.
