Very dry with a wild nose, funky, natural and pet nat, with that kind of musky, armpit like funk dissipating quickly over the notes of lemon, Buddha hand, orange rind and wet stone. This is DRY, surprisingly so, and on its own has a lot of great energy, with the funk continuing at the beginning of the palate, but the dryness can be somewhat stark. Paired with some cheese and tinned fish though it really comes into its own. — 5 days ago

Deep burgundy, rouge/purple hue with an expressive nose of ripe red and purple fruit, with notes of vanilla, and slightly herbal notes in the background, like herbs de Provence and plum. Medium bodied, with both spice and peppery notes, very light tannin, and a dry red fruit freshness that ends very cleanly. Really solid juice. — 20 days ago

Paired with a prodigious big pork chop. At 10 years old, the odor of aged, wet artificial carpet exists alongside prominent amber notes, and hints of mashed blackberry, plum, ground black pepper and thyme notes. Medium bodied, with still a LOT of energy, but showing its age. Lite if plum, dark cherry, bitter chocolate, mulch, graphite, brandy, and blood orange with some baking spice and some well integrated tannin throughout. — 6 days ago

Deeep red with purple hues, medium bodied with a rich nose of iron, blood orange, raspberry, graphite, tar and red meat. Well integrated tannins persist, grippy, yet refined, with a bristly energy, and more iron, red meat, black cherry, crushed stone, pine cone, smoke and tobacco notes. Goodness I love Cote Rotie. — 2 months ago

I was surprised when this turned out to be an orange wine, but not at all disappointed. Beautiful amber color, medium bodied, with a strong nose of ripe, sweet fruit, with good acid, and notes of navel orange, Meyer lemon, sweet cream (though VERY light), with hints of mustard, celery and other subtle vegetal notes. Palate is smooth, with great energy and well integrated creamy motes of ripe orange, blood orange and grapefruit, but not tart, with more prominent vegetable notes, maybe some more anise and celery. At the finish there’s even hints of some smoky BBQ, which ends in a dry, slightly spicy and savory hue. — 11 days ago
