I like it, but was a bit of a tough sell to a large group. Some rubber-y, dirty eraser tones on the nose. It's an earthy, cider-like note that honestly smells like a lot of South African Chenin. A bit of process (yeasty, lees notes) are there alongside dried yellow fruit & melon rind. But the cider topnote is heavy. Medium feel, nice energy & length.

A private lunch (Restaurant Bak, Amsterdam, NL): Organic and biodynamic viticulture. A blend of 50% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir, 5% Poulsard and 5% Trousseau, partially aged in barrel, second fermentation with Vin de Paille must, zero dosage, disgorged August 2022. Crisp, fresh and dry, hint of earth, gentle skin bitters, apple and red fruit, steely finish, good length.

Not quite as oxidative and nutty as I remember it being the first time I had it at Brat in London. Kind of thin. Still quite drinkable and perfect as an aperitif.

Funky nose, fruit forward sparkling with high acidity.

Nice enough for what it is ... at first. Then picked up a slick Amaro note that just didn't work.
