I dunno how O2'ed up this wine is supposed to be, but this bottle has phenolic craziness and some ox. It's amazingly "just right" with everything here, from Poke to ribs. I'd imagine this wine gets sent back routinely at this place, but I find it fantastic. 2010 vintage

Always a pleasure to drink Joly's wines. Almost looks like rose in the glass

Hard core wonderful weirdness. Rating not really fair as made after open only a few hours at most.
