Color of purple-ish dark pomegranate. The nose consists of liquor-soaked strawberries, pomegranate, and blood orange (plus minor reductive funk / pressed flower petal). In the mouth, the attack is sugar-soaked sour cherry (there is slight residual sugar), balanced by very high citrusy/edgy acidity that dominates the middle, finishes with notes and depth of cranberry juice and iron. Excellent energy and concentration - the wine seamlessly grows big in the mouth keeping the symmetrical round “shape”.
Does this producer worth the hype? I was not able to tell - while the quality is certainly there, there are many other infamous natural wine producers who deliver similar quality, and also this wine somewhat reminds of a serious rose/pale-red lambrusco which is typically much better value. But again, quality is certainly there.
