A wine that one person out of 10 could receive and accept
I put it aside when I opened it cause I knew it would have been criticised badly from my company
Super orange or I should say THE Orange wine
Matured in Anphora
It smelled clearly of clay, overripe apricot and white plums, white pepper and coriander seeds
Nice freshness
It is a lot more that what it looks like, but it really requires an educated audience
I personally quite enjoyed it 👍 — 7 years ago

Roses, and agree with another note re: subtle root beer. Via Garagiste. — 8 years ago

Baby.... needs time. But also some 12's are seeming quite sweet. Being picky but maybe a cause for some concern down the road... — 9 years ago

I wasn't going to rate this wine at first, but after downing a six pack after a couple weeks I figured something is working here. It's definitely not your bread and butter pinot, and if you're a classic pinotvitorian, this wine probably isn't for you. But I'm just digging these crazy notes of root beer, caramel, oak, bright cherry, with almonds lurking in the background. Great body to this wine, well balanced with just a hint of pepper on a lingering finish. It's rich, voluptuous, and satisfying. As a club member I'm paying $28 a bottle and that feels like a deal. Good chance I'll be doubling down again soon. — 9 years ago

After decanting initial notes of honeycomb. A good combination of root vegetable notes and savoury red fruits. Great palate intensity without weight. An excellent example of a 10 year old Tasmanian Pinot. Freycinet is on the East Coast of Tasmania and their Pinot Noir is a regular purchase for me. Capable of ageing for 15 years plus. — 7 years ago

Opens over time. InitIal nose of rose petals and muted fruit. Opens to cherries and licorice root. Bright red fruit, earthy mid palate, and then a lingering finish. Had to drink one. Will let the others alone for a while. — 9 years ago

Wonderfully complex Château neuf at an equally amazing venue in the Alsace region. Love the presentation they do at Auberge de L'Ill! Currant and of course the licorice root. This 2008 could use another 10 years in the bottle and it could be stellar. — 9 years ago

Red currant and stewed plum with a healthy dose of licorice root. Very well rounded with a full mouth feel. A little light on structure. Pays to try modest Bordeaux from the best years to see what they can do when everything goes right. — 6 years ago

So sour it reminded me of a Lambic
Honestly I'd drink it cause I like acidity no matter what, but I would try to wait at least 3/4 years before giving it another go

Not a huge fan of Sauvignon Blanc, but this is fantastic. Crisp, but not just another simplistic Sauv Blanc, it has character. — 8 years ago

Delicious Mourvèdre a la Bandol -this 2011 is exceptional with black and red cherries, licorice root, vine clippings in all their pruned sap, and an herbaceous Mediterranean wisp of lavender. Such a star! — 9 years ago

Smooth finish, Light plus tannins, pairs well with grilled meats, root veggies; not good for spicy foods. Good alone or with food. — 10 years ago
