Funky Château

Dirty & Rowdy

Familiar California Mourvedre 2013

9.2

Starts off like late be-bop with a great groove ; if you listen to it for a while and pay attention, you realize it's gone full-on fusion, complicated and funky and electric. Do yourself a favor and try wait at least three hours for that last glass (or more). Thanks, @Hardy Wallace ! — 10 years ago

Terrific wine

R. López de Heredia

Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 1987

More tannic, powerful, youthful, and funky than the '85,
But still great. Probably needs another 5-10.

Cascina Degli Ulivi

Semplicemente Vino Bellotti Rosso Barbera Dolcetto

Wonderful candied fruit with barnyard, meaty funky aromas. Med+ acid, soft tannin, med body, delicious and easy to drink. Interesting tangy(?) finish. Great wine, can't stop drinking it (but doesn't hold up the next day). Goes down very smooth but probably not for everyone, especially with that funkiness...but the fruit definitely helps. 2010 — 12 years ago

La Stoppa

Trebbiolo Rosso Barbera Bonarda 2013

Barbera/Bonarda blend. Pleasantly funky nose then bright ripe cherry/raspberry on palate, super fun (& food-friendly) for the holidays! — 10 years ago

9.3

Definitely drank too young, but man, it's darn good right now. The nose is funk and herbs, with some dry leather thrown in, the tannins hit hard right away, but aren't astringent or bitter. The mid palate holds well and the herby/funky classic CNdP carries through. There is a slight sweetness from the alcohol that is a bit more than what I want, but it's a great classic CNdP. — 10 years ago
