Nov 30th, 2019Jura juice with 25 spices added, reduced in a copper cauldron over a wood fire, fortified with Marc de Franche-Comté, and then aged in barrel for five years. It smells like everything. One of the most unique and exciting wines I've ever tasted.

Dec 29th, 2016Christmas cake, cinnamon, cloves and a bunch load of other spice create enormous interest here; this is special stuff. The low key fruit is dark and bright red, but in a way irrelevant as this liquid focuses on its spice and secondary characteristics, finishing with hints of molasses but long thanks to a great acidic spine. I truly wish ALL wine geeks get to taste this nectar.
