Dark red, almost brown colour. On the nose: cherries, plum, leather. On the palate: cacao, dark red cherries, spiciness/pepper. A little bit of heat, gives it just that little kick. Great length. A modern C9dP, but something I enjoy quite a lot. At a great drinking spot at the moment, cannot imagine this getting a better.

True orange wine, needed some decanting and not a wine that you would just drink. We tried it with food (crab fondue as well chicken pie) and that seems to work just fine. Colour, orange as said, a bit hazy. On the nose candied fruit, flowers, and a hint of honey as well as some toasty notes (24 month in oak barrels). On the palate, candied fruit, caramel and some spiciness.
