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. — 8 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

Deep ruby. Note of paint?? Definitely smells like forest floor and rivers. Feral, spicy, even a touch foxy. Salty, violet-touched fruit with dark cherries, plums and backbone of spicy stoniness. Fine tannins, with light grip. Quite nice; a salty, deeper male style. — 11 years ago

Like a hard-edged, rustic Santenay. But not without charm. Woodsy, feral and bright. Would pair well with food, if you're into that sort of thing. — 11 years ago

Long life ahead for sure. That said a bit feral at first with polish coming later. — 12 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

Tinge of purple to the colour. Notes of feral barnyard, lavender and violets. Medium bodied with noticeable tannins to finish off. Excellent and savoury. Love these warm climate European wines from the Mediterranean Coast. — 9 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. — 10 years ago

Almost perfect. So smooth bit feral and wild at the same time. — 11 years ago

Exactly what I wanted this to be- funky, feral, cab franc- bret-y, barnyard, and grassy, with a deep berry core. Was perfect from a 2001 magnum at an outdoor brunch on a warm CA day. Uber-natural winemaking, on the edge of what I can classify as "enjoyable" — 12 years ago

Feral and full but fresh...with tomato, blood, meat, and black olive, but still full of red and black fruits, too. — 10 years ago

Fig, coffee grounds, and cocoa on the nose. Feral but clean, with a long, sweet finish. Good now through 2020. — 10 years ago

On the bigger, feral side of CA Mourvèdre. No light bodied, citrus backed wine here. A lovely foil for rack of lamb. — 11 years ago
