Finish of apricot. Orange wine but not funky — 2 years ago

We recently pulled some cases out of storage, which haven't seen the light of day for nearly 15 years, so I'll have some fun posts in the next several months.

Nose has split oak firewood (barely seasoned), cigar box, moist cedar shavings, blackberry, dried black currant, dried roses, fresh violets, moist leather, dried lavender dark chocolate powder and graphite pencil shavings.

Palate has chocolate covered blackberry, tarry black cherry, cedar sawdust, dark chocolate bark, prune, anise candy, clay pot and leather. Very long finish, subtle tannins exist still, amazing wine!

Cork pulled, 2h rest, then decanted 6h, a perfect bottle, still young, future bottles may be 2023-30, without concern.

Perfect pair to homemade burgers from a local farmer in Columbia Co. NY (Kinderhook Farm), cooked to a beautiful medium-rare served on toasted brioche burger rolls. — 4 years ago

True to varietal. Leather and spice on the nose. A little tannic but otherwise well balanced. Nice smoke. Priced fairly at $18, but I I'll look for a better value in future. $14 would have been a steal. — 8 years ago

Big oak, lots of dark fruits. Vanilla, cedar box, dried tobacco, and just a hint of coconut. Lots of aggressive tannins. — 9 years ago

Some Brett, cinnamon but mixed with a beautiful rustic berry sensation. CO2 dissipates but third time this is delicious so I'm all in 🙏 — 6 years ago

9.1

The way I choose to re-hydrate after braving the Texas sun for a few hours.

Seemed to evolve into two different wines. Started off mimicking a bone-dry-funky-Sidra, then finished as a baked apple and peachy delight with just a bit of funk wafting through. Loved it. — 7 years ago

Give this a good degassing (a simple shake with your thumb covering the opening will suffice) and this immediately becomes X-factor more awesome. — 8 years ago

Lindsey Licata

9.3

Superb earthiness on the nose with a nice flavor profile, tobacco, smokey with heavier body and well integrated fruit. Inky! An excellent represenation of a 2001 Rioja! — 8 years ago
