Not a fan upon first opening but it's growing on me.

The 1995 did not show well at first, but after about 40 minutes in the glass the swampy, malo funk blossomed into caramel tinged, lemon curd with a whiff if wild mushroom. Supple on the palate with bright acidity.

If sherry were made of passion fruit, honey, and orange.

If I'm correct this has only been released a few years ago. Definitely not attractive in the glass, but don't let that fool you. I can't remember the exact notes on this because it got mixed in. Best way to describe for me is California meets Jura/European orange wine. Cool wine, something different.
