Interesting to read through the comments in this wine, it's not for everyone, but I love it. It reminds me of Big Black, if anyone remembers them from the 80s, the stark tannin structure is like that metallic grating guitar, cleansing, purifying, hard, stripped down. Orange wine is stripped down, it is missing the veneer of fruit and color, that is part of what is so special about it. It is like bauhaus architecture, you see the steel girders and the electrical conduit. This one is particularly that way. With a delicious resolution. — 7 years ago

100% Knights Valley cab with a Bordeaux sensibility. Tobacco leaf nose and medium body, dark red fruit on a nice tannic frame. Peaking. Stark contrast to the Robert Foley '04 Claret we drank beside it, whose Napa extraction and finish could not be more different. Kudos to the team @DCK Healsburg — 9 years ago

Tasted on day two. Deep ruby red with bell peppers and red fruits on the nose. Lots of acidity with medium tannins (5/10). Medium bodied with dark fruits and a bit savory. Medium plus finish. Drink till 2019. — 7 years ago

Fruchtig, nur leicht verdeckt vom Barrique, der nicht zu stark ist. Ein schöner Wein. — 8 years ago

Beautiful nose of stark slate and lime zest. A confectionary quality develops afterv 10-15 minutes. Very clean and pure and very Mosel. This is drinking really well out of the gates. Initially there is underripe peach, green apple, lime lest, stones and more stones. Terrific acidity that could use maybe 30-40 minutes to integrate on the backend. Gets fleshier with each sip and show the fleshy fruit of the 2012's in full force. Really luscious fruit develops after 20 minutes or so.

Outstanding. No Southern Hemisphere pyrazine, thiols, iron, veg or whatever you want to call it. Balanced, firm, layered with beautiful subtle black fruit. This is spectacular wine — 11 years ago
