On the nose - black cherry, burnished slightly, emerges through a mystic hint of dark herb and soupçon of burnt orange. Elegantly smooth. Rounded warm mouth feel. with delicate thought of cassis. Uplifted finish. Contemplative. — 7 years ago

Way better than expected. The malty, tight finish makes it taste like a fun herbal beer versus fernet shots dropped in a bock. — 9 years ago
Somewhere between shoe polish and prunes on the nose with a streak of smoky allspice and juniper. Sarsaparilla tar, roasted eggplant skin, oregano, burnt corn, cat bed, wet leather, black beans, burnt coffe and cigar ends. Coffee-rootbeer, black pepper, black mushroom, and eel. Sleek and nuanced, but a mistress of epic proportion. #dankdark #bellsbrewery #neptune — 9 years ago
She catches the eye slim with dreamy curves, darkly dressed complimented by earth-toned loosely falling ribbons. Gripping her firmly with one hand sliding finding her neck the other slowly pulling her upward she opens wet and her pale gold to yellow juice easily pours lightly, rhythmically dancing, ebbing and flowing revealing a subtle essence of ripe peach and flower petals against moist grass and wet stone, then she lunges spilling across your lips leisurely coating your mouth front to back with an orange essence her tannins gently grip, then she slowly slips on and away, "into the mystic..." and you wonder , will she come again...?

This is Gov case winner and I can see why: terroir-driven Chard fruit (slight tropical accent w/ a delicates floral frame) core palate. Sort of like Bluegrass is different than country. It was clean and my only regret was opening about one year too late it was clean and my only regret was letting some of that energy dissipate. At four years from harvest, the oak had rounded and it was certainly delightful. A useful minerality was gentle in the cleansing finish. My mystic was pairing with the wrong entrée which took some of the appreciation out of the quality build. I will look to get a 2017 offering as it should be all this and a little something more ;) — 7 years ago
Straight soil & soul. The waves of terroir on this cuvée will not escape you::::it is relentless in its expression: hence the note on the bottle :: Expression Originale du Terroir. Very little fruit out the gate...dry...maybe something very dark and deep...minerality then soil and deeper and deeper. It has a mystic aura, ethereal. I can honestly say I've never tasted anything remotely like it. — 8 years ago

If you are going to go all the way to Mystic Connecticut to have a California Chard, it might as well be Kistler--but you may want a pizza to go with it. — 9 years ago

A mystic, deep wine. Black and blue fruit, freshness due to a healthy acidity. Mineral and more complex than most Barbera d'Alba wines. — 7 years ago

Mystic 'Everyday Saison'. Chelsea Mass. Retrieved from my Boston trip as a beer that would suit my palate. Great suggestion. Not many Saisons can be called session. But this one is both top-ferments fruity/baking spice, good depth, but also nervey and bright at only 4.3%. Crafty as f@ck. More Duvel than Petrus, just hidden in a supermodel's body — 9 years ago
A lovely buttery and mildly acidic white with hints of stone fruit and oak. Perfect for the spring/summer and would pair so so nice with mussels or a cheese plate — 9 years ago
