I never knew I liked Madeira! But this is wonderful and truly American as Bartholomew taught us. Will want to serve this lightly sweet wine as an aperitif slightly chilled at my next dinner party:) .Sampled at Nothing But 90 at ATLFWF. — 10 years ago

A blend of Obaideh and Merwah from ancient vines with pyrrhic yields (a glassful from each vine). 

In the glass, a supernaturally glowing amber with copper flecks—one friend exclaimed “This color is just ridiculous!"

The initial wave of aroma is intense and complex to the point of being overwhelming. Time stands still, the room becomes quiet. It presents as a blanket of detailed images - toast with honey (like aged Semillon), nutty yellow apple (development), honeyed cashews, bruised candied white flowers, sweet carrot halwa, apple butter, apple-balsamic, clove, almond, and toasted scone. The nose is fractal, in a way. It rewards scrutiny with ever-increasing complexity.

The developed note of carrot, tamari, and honey intensifies over time in the glass, and on the micro-scale, within a single inhalation.

There’s no oxidation or Brett here, despite being as “natural” as a wine can be (no sulfur, no wild yeast, no manipulation except maybe a small quantity of used Nevers oak. 

This has undergone the transformation from a wine of fruit to a wine of wisdom - the fruit has been replaced by a honeyed, savory character, that Bartholomew Broadbent says will intensify with more age.  — 9 years ago

We bottled 190 cases of this today. Great nose full of rustic berries and that old world "je ne sais quoi?" Totally dug the mouthfeel. Lush and long finish. GREAT first wack at this style of wine. Good job Bart! — 10 years ago
