This was amazing. I never score this high, but I haven't like a wine this much in ages. Dark amber, like a cognac, as people have mentioned. It has a nose of a sherry: oxidised, nutty, and maybe a hint of lemon or orange peel. On the palate it is so complex. Oxidised but also fruity. Bone dry, and fresh with hints of tannin but not astringent at all. It is super long as well. Reminded me of Vina Tondonia white Rioja, but maybe even more complex. I have never tasted an orange wine this good.

Vin presque orange, voire couleur cognac, avec un nez de pêche, des notes de vin liquoreux ou presque, alors que le vin est bien sec en bouche. La bouche montre une réelle profondeur, une grande longueur, avec une salinité extraordinaire. Ma découverte de l'année jusqu'ici. 93-94 pts
Accord merveilleux avec le fromage Comté.

The color of cognac, with a beguiling nose of cherry, earth, and still fresh florals. If I couldn't see the wine, I'd call this red Burgundy based on the nose. Yet the palate went in a completely different direction, with more classic orange wine notes of almond and orange zest. The 2007 Breg is fascinating!

Oxidized nose, not your run of the mill orange, meditation wine
