Some appealing funk and crushed raspberries. No tannins left here. And a bizarre like wet clay note. I’m assuming this was not aged in amphorae. A divisive wine, but not without its charms.

I’ve never had a wine like this. It’s has a split personality. The nose has both super-young, tart berries, loads of nose-tickly rock dust, caramel, and a jarring oxidized note. Same thing on the palate. Tastes like someone blended a very young wine with a cooked, lifeless maderized bottle of yuk. If the whole wine tasted lifeless, I’d conclude it was poorly stored. But this sort of split personality leads me to think it was poorly made.

Dark rubi robe, nose of blackcurrant, top soil and crushed flowers. Very light, balanced, complex, with polished tannins. This is great stuff. Low in alcohol too. Highly recommended.
