I’m a huge fan of Matthiassan’s stuff and was eager to try this new line when I first heard about it. I expected fresh, unfussy, glou glou along the lines of a Bojo Village or Zweigelt, but this was just a disappointment in every way. I haven’t encountered brett like this in a long time. Even on day two bandaid was the most noticeable aromatic. If you can get through that there is some mild pomegranate, cranberry, and cherry there, but it’s just too little too late. Perhaps the other Tendu offerings are great, but this wasn’t.

This was everything I wanted: wonderfully balanced, delicious fruit, beautiful nose, great acidity, and the price is right! Should be on everyone's "go to" list.
