Feral

Emidio Pepe

Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2013

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. — 8 years ago

Domaine Tempier

Bandol Mourvedre Blend 2008

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

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

Domaine Les Roches (Alain et Jérome Lenoir)

Chinon Cabernet Franc 2001

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

Domaine Julien Cruchandeau

Les Valançons Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Nuits Pinot Noir 2013

Lyle Fass
9.1

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

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

Ruggabellus

Archaeus Red Blend 2012

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

Mas de Boislauzon

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2010

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

Claude Dugat

Lavaux St. Jacques Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Pinot Noir

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
