Enjoying a glass of Dr Loosen Blue Slate at sunset in the Polish Mountains after a good day of hiking. This doesn’t get any better..
The nose is a bit shy but shows citrusy touches, a bit of chalk, fresh white grape juice, white peach, white flowers. The palate is super fresh and precise despite some residual sugar. There are citrusy beams shining through and through, some grip in the rear, some lemon peel and a great, fresh finish that lasts for a while. It’s simple yet perfectly executed. A perfect sip to top up a great and active day. Life is good. — 2 months ago

This was nice and unique. Dark red color. Still very youthful. Medium plus depth. Dominated by mint with some dark cherries, vanilla, and leather. Wine had layers to it adding to the complexity and uniqueness.

Take this for what it’s worth, and honestly it’s not a bad thing, but I got blue cheese on the nose :) — 2 months ago
