Lovely Cornas. Very similar in quality to the 2000 Clape flagship bottling. Feral blue fruits, bramble and herbs. — 7 years ago

Small batch no. 16, “The Raven”. One of their first I’ve had of theirs that has a [mild] acetic profile. As my dad said, “kinda smells like those chips we used to eat.. salt & vinegar!” Super tasty and the quality of the feral fruit shows. Cool, deep fruit comes through on nose. Finish sticks to your gums rather than tongue... tannins. — 8 years ago

Tactile and structure - coconut, salt, lemon oil, grapefruit peel even with some more feral, earthy tones. Super tight, condensed at the moment, but beaming with promise — 8 years ago

And for the night portion of the evening, Professor Jamet with horror show in a bottle. A dark, bloody, brooding presence that can scare the shit out of a guy if he's not ready for it. Feral elegance. Fantastic. QPR beast. — 8 years ago

Not your typical Barossa big red. A rather feral manure nose with some black pastille hints. Medium minus weight of fruit with light tannins and medium acid. No noticeable oak influence. A refreshing change from the Barossa norm. — 9 years ago

Black, tarry raspberry, meaty, rocky, feral, floral...deeply mineral, precisely textured and weightless, yet structured. Beautiful, complex, rare, just how I like it. — 10 years ago

Pomegranate molasses/thick red raspberry fruit, but sufficiently lifted and bright such that it is refreshing. Nose brings to mind Faury Syrah but it's smoother and less feral, feels stem my but polished; obviously not the elegance of a Côte Rôtie but managed an elegant balance nonetheless. At 16€, back up the truck. Roses come to mind with air, and it seems to gain conviction, even alluding to the tiniest meatiness. Yum. — 11 years ago

This bears little resemblance to a Gamay from Beaujolais, starting with the startlingly saturated violet color. The nose is feral, with inky dark berries, laced with venison jerky, poured on to a slab of just-cracked granite. In the mouth, massive dry extract and intensity, but simultaneously vibrant. It’s got soft tannin and acids to spare, so it will age, but really special now. This is actually a fall-weight Bojo. The only thing about this wine that runs according to type is the blocky ‘15 tactile feel, which is not my fave. — 7 years ago

This is in screaming Mimi mode right now. Super cherry on the nose with some nice background earthy. Refined and just beautiful. Palaste is silky, sweet and a little bit wild and feral with lovely tannins and serious structure. Lovely cherry on the finish. Needs 30 minute I think. — 9 years ago

A wonderfully savory rosé with notes of crushed herbs and wet chalkboard and rosehips and a bit of sweat. Feral, indeed. — 10 years ago

Mineral and wild Loire gamay (with a little persan). You're not going to confuse this with cru Beaujolais as it's learner and more driven and feral. With a light chill and some cured pork products - perfect. — 7 years ago

Day 2 notes as day 1 it was an end of the night open and it needed 24 hours to really show. Nose is all black fruits, tiny bit of horse, granite, meat, earth, herbs, licorice. Feral. Dense gamey olives as well. Complex aromas. Palate has insane freshness and purity. So clean and straight as an arrow with great acids blackberry fruit and complex stoniness on the finish. Compact, long and balanced. Way more upside here. — 8 years ago

Gorgeous nose. Granite infused dark berry goodness. Stunningly deep and precise aromas. Pungent, stanky, exciting. Feral. Palate is impossibly juicy and pure. Unreal intensity berry intensity. So complex and so fresh and so pure. Granite slides all over your palate. Unreal wine. So clean. Amazing structure and finesse. One of the best wines in Cornas. Amazingly elegant for such a big boy. — 8 years ago

Opened with a bit of leather, brett, animal sweat, dark cherry. Cleaned up and rounded up into a more Powerful-but-middleweight cherry-fig-saddle leather-tobacco thing that was elegant and feral at the same time. For a wine so young this felt well-developed, and the lack of oak is refreshing and makes the wine even more transparent. — 9 years ago

On the bigger, feral side of CA Mourvèdre. No light bodied, citrus backed wine here. A lovely foil for rack of lamb. — 12 years ago
