Muddy pink rosé color. Earthy semicarbonic notes with dirt, mushroom, and slight VA- smells like skin contact. Dry high alcohol med plus acid. Med minus tannins-nice and grippy. Medium bitterness. Notable petillance. Old watermelon rinds. I don't really understand this wine.
Dark purple. Fascinating nose of ripe blackberry and charred meat. Faint black pepper and herbal rosemary notes. Smells smoky and black. Dry, medium plus body, elevated alcohol 14%, high acid. Medium plus tannins-fine grained and well-integrated. Long finish with a hint of well-melded Brett. Satiny texture. Beautiful.
