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.

Oct 30th, 2014One of the best weird wines I've ever tried. Infused on a ton of herbs, fortified and oak aged — it is everything and at the same time nothing you've tried before. It smells like Christmas and tastes like heaven. 10/10 easily.
