Tons of apricot in the nose. Palate moves to much more plum. Had an interesting sweetness to it, but overall still very sour. Excellent beer and can’t wait to see how it ages. — 5 years ago
Cherry, raspberry, watermelon, lemon curd and strawberry. Good acidity and balance. — 6 years ago
Got this when it was on sale. Medium bodied, semi-dry, fruity taste. Very good for a leisure afternoon drink.

Highly structured but Delicious effort. Lots of structure, but with time on the glass or decanter, this is a very good wine. Give it some time and enjoy at your leisure. Tasty, but stout. — 9 years ago
Glou glou. Tropical fruit, a little hot pepper spice, perfect chilled! — 5 years ago
Color of bloody grapefruit with ruby tone at the bottom of the glass. Nose of fermented cabbage, some strong alcohol, some chocolate, some aldehyde, and a bit stingy. Taste is quite sweet and zest, almost no tannins, and basically follows the note of the nose. Aftertaste shows some more warmth from alcohol. Not complex and straightforward. Good for daily leisure. — 5 years ago

Holy smokes! Really need to get myself a bottle. B&S summed up the wine perfectly:
This is near immaculate. Match a consistently revered wine with a once-in-a-lifetime vintage and what you get is a rare and illusive gem.
Perfectly warm days and cool, steady nights allowed for ideal growing conditions in Clonakilla’s famed vineyards. With the ability to pick fruit at their own leisure, Tim Kirk and his team gained full fruit ripeness, balanced phenolic complexity and even increased the whole bunches to 30% for each ferment. The sensorial odyssey begins with perfumed florals and aromas of spice, charcuterie and wild herbs; before bright red and blue berries emerge on the palate. There’s a line of savoury richness which seamlessly interplays with the wine’s elegant tannin structure, however, what truly marks the experience is the complexity that each mouthful delivers. An immediate classic. — 8 years ago

This is an interesting wine but initially surprisingly ungainly. Needs an hour to become what it is. And what It is is lovely.
Nose is freshly cut Grass on a mountain. Full on Julie Andrews in sound of music. The grass and the wild blackberries intermingle so well it’s almost like they are having Coitus.
Day 2 has some lovely mountain pine on the nose.
Palate is more if that fresh grass and wild berry fruit. Silky tanins. Brilliant freshness. Juicy.
This is a red wine that almost should be drunk like a white wine. It will work. And you will be super cool. Bravo for you.
Also a great change of pace for those suffering from ennui. The plague of the leisure class these days. Alas.

Travel & Leisure just named baltimore the coolest city in America. I'd like to think my presence had something to do with that title. :) as for the wine- doesn't everything taste like heaven on a rooftop deck within smelling distance of the bread factory? — 8 years ago
Was looking for something that would be pleasing to everyone. Soft tannins made this very smooth for leisure drinking.
Slightly sweet. Ripened dark fruit, complex on the nose. Delicious! — 9 years ago
