The most interesting wine of the afternoon was from Bio-D guru N. Joly. Nose shows some honey, apricot from some botrytis. Taste close to dry with a exotic mineral finish

I reviewed this wine on 8/3/18 and little has changed. It is a glorious funky thing of incredible appeal. You either hate Joly’s wines or love them. You must experience them to join the conversation. @nancydwight @andrewschirmer

Looks oxidized but def not. Really interesting balance of fruit and not fruits. Honey, pear, and chamomile lead the charge. Missing some structural grace but a fascinating wine to think about with an array of food pairings. I’d kill to try this with uni.

A favorite. Gorgeous gold color. Starts with a slightly viscous mouthfeel. Almost never use that term - "mouthfeel" - but it's actually apt, here. It's almost lightly syrupy, but not over sweet. Honey, peach, pear. Works it's way through some more savory notes before finishing in salt and minerality.
