First bottle corked. Luckily able to pull another from the cellar to compare. What a difference! Great learning when you can compare. Black cherry, smooth, decent acidity, very soft tannins. First bottle was wet cardboard. — 2 days ago

Funky, natural, non-fined, hints of Riesling petrol on the nose, tart, almost a hint of smoke. — 7 days ago

Very fresh and lively. Sweetish edge but good tannins and reasonably long. Can’t place what the fruit reminds me of right now, though. Not a berry, something else. — 22 days ago

Very deep, dark purple. Upon opening a hint of mild Brett? A bit like a band-aid, but that went away in a matter of minutes. Earthy herbal flavors predominate over fruit. Thyme, sage, rosemary. Meaty. Faint sour cherry and chocolate well in the background. Will need to revise in an hour once it has opened up more. — 16 days ago

Not like any Sake I’ve drank before. A rich almond aspect, almost marzipan like, with the plum sweetness underlying the profile. A really fascinating dessert wine. — 7 days ago

Beautiful berry fruits, chocolate covered cherries, earthy leaves and soil and still strong but integrated tannins. Beautiful with steak frites. At Bistro de Paris. — 22 days ago
