Tuesday, October 16, 2018 - Well, this is interesting. I can see where it isn't for everyone. This wine is not about the fruit, and I'm definitely getting some sherry like vibes. It's light golden in color. The nose is nutty, oily, and peaty, with some smoke, waxy yellow fruit, and chalky minerality. Full bodied, with medium(+) acid, long finish, a little viscosity, and great texture. On the palate it kind of reminds me of Calvados with its apple, light oxidative quality, and touch of alcoholic warmth, complicated by saline and minerality. Better as it both aired out and warmed a bit. Over the course of drinking with dinner and sipping for several hours after, this bottle grew from "interesting, but probably wouldn't purchase again" to "wow, I'm actually really enjoying this" *pulls up winesearcher*.
