2018 bottle has a smaller label but the bottle itself is embossed with the Michael David name.
I prefer their Freakshow Chardonnay because it's less oaky, but that's just personal preference.
A beautiful example of classically delicious Chardonnay — 6 years ago

What a beautiful bouquet on this wine.

I think I found the Freakshow's younger brother. Tastes like it ,smells like it,and a little cheaper.
Color is red Ruby with brown notes and a white Rim.
On the nose, blueberries, figs, plums, boysenberry, black pepper, chocolate, and spice box.
On the palate, dark berries, chocolate and vanilla, sweet plums, raisins, sweet cherries, peppercorn, oak and black pepper.
Full bodied with a nice mouth feel and good balance.
Medium plus finish with sweet and bold tannins , and some black pepper.
15.3% alcohol by volume with gorgeous,long, fat legs . Great, great wine!

This reminded me of the Freakshow so much that I had to open it and compare the two .

This is always a phenomenal bottle of wine. The complexity is amazing. It's a small lot of only 348 cases produced. — 12 years ago

Big, bold, spicy: you go through the entirety of all the red wine spectrum as you drink this. Enough oak to hold the 12 (12!) grapes used in this blend. — 12 years ago

I found this bottle alone on a shelf with no price in the supermarket. I took a chance because I love their Freakshow. It was a right move. — 10 years ago

Freakshow. First comes the petrol that lingers. Then comes the honeyed fruits. Lots of pineapple and nectarine and marmalade. Beautiful acidity like a sunbeam, that makes this wine seem like it's veering towards a Spatlese, even though technically it's been clocked at TBA levels of sweetness. A crisp dewy finish. Beautiful. — 10 years ago
