  Gets a like, but just barely. Not particularly funky in any way, just a bit fuller and more oily than you'd expect. It does look more orange than I thought based off other reviews. Seemed to do best with some time to breathe but also being kept quite cold.

  My first orange wine. Muted nose with slight slight petroleum note. Smooth mid palate, but solid acidity on the finish. All round very bright and energetic with heft. Recommended

  Another "orange" wine. Reticent nose, almost muted. Shows some heft in the mouth, with a textural feel, somewhat oily on the mid palate, to go along with cidery tones and lively acidity.
