  Drank my first bottle of this wine 7 years ago, and had mixed feeling. Knew it was different, but was not sure it was my thing. Now 7 years later, I found this wine coming into its own. Enjoyed the notes of honey and baked apple, more than the funkiness I tasted 7 years ago. A fun and interesting wine to drink.

  So let’s preface this with the fact that I have never tasted a wine like this in my life. This is a “white” wine. A light orange, almost Brandy colour. Old orange peel and wet clay on the nose, orange liqueur comes through lightly on the end. It blows off a bit to be replaced by a cleaner lighter orange and clay nose. Super mineral entry, oily texture, dry. Just undefinable using my regular metrics. I absolutely don’t understand it, not even slightly. It is beyond me entirely. I’ll leave it to others to explain how awesome it is and how dumb you are for not getting it. I don’t get it either, don’t feel bad. The score reflects my enjoyment of it, not how good of a version of whatever it’s supposed to be.

  Last tasted one year ago. Enjoying it more now. Some of harshness I tasted before has smoothed out. Other flavours are showing through more.
