Beautiful orange/light pink hue from 30 days of skin contact. Structured, subtly tart and full bodied. More, please 🙏 — 9 years ago

Raspberry preserves, orange peel, spice, and a hint of cola. Occidental is a gem among an outstanding lineup of 2013 RM pinots. — 9 years ago

Light dusky orange in color, betraying extended skin contact. The palate is tart but weighty, with a lot of unfamiliar but very interesting flavors. Tripped across this in a wine bar in Rome in 2008; ran across it in a wine store in Portland, Maine this weekend. Serendipity! A fascinating wine. — 11 years ago

Well-aged orange wine. Hints of oxidation (like Madeira) on the nose. Mineral core, long tart finish. Good complexity - some odd tertiary flavors that are difficult to identify. — 9 years ago

Dried lemon rinds. Grapefruit, orange, honey and potpourri. The palate is lemon rind and pith. Orange zest. Saline and hints of honey. Reminds me of a fino sherry, but with more moderate acidity. Long finish. — 9 years ago

Half-bottle. The wine was medium amber in colour and offered orange peel, apple, honeycomb, caramel, smoke, spices, sherry and a mouldy note on the nose. On the palate the wine showed orange, peach, apple, cane sugar, caramel, smoke, spices, creamy honey, some coffee, a hint of chocolate, sherry, mild black tea and a mouldy note, paired with medium-plus acidity, a creamy honey mouthfeel and very good length. Judged by this half-bottle the wine has just passed its plateau and started its slow journey on the downward slope. A good, medium-bodied Sauternes with lots of botrytis character. Drink now. 89 — 11 years ago

Orange-red in color. Floral, peach and mango nose, peach- cherry in mouth with minerality and mild astringency in front. Not an easy-sipping wine but well made. — 9 years ago

Impeccable. Complex and heady aromas of red fruit. Alpine strawberries and raspberry converge with a high note of brioche. It's incredibly elegant, with a delicate mousse and vibrantly acidity. There is a slight mineral edge, adding complexity to ripe pomegranate, orange rind and coriander. Fleshy, creamy and decadent finish. ID 412041 Enjoyed with truffle fries. — 11 years ago
