Heaters at Jade Court (Chicago, IL): A strange blend of floral and smoky characters on the nose. Clearly a bit of nuttiness going on with the palate thanks to the oxidative winemaking style, but there is also some freshness here to bolster the palate. Some stone fruit and a little saline. A bit of an odd duck as far as flavour profile. it's certainly not a bad wine, but it's also one which I can't figure out when or why I'd want a glass.

HDH auction tasting at Tru; 6/24/2016-6/25/2016 (Chicago, IL): The nose has some odd spice and herbal elements, and there's definitely a touch of oxidative character to it. The palate shows some nice spice elements, but I just can't help but think that this would be so much better with some residual sugar. There are plenty of dried stone fruit flavours, but this is deceptively dry. A fairly good wine, although this is probably more interesting than enjoyable.

From Magnum. Great wine, with lots of fruit and hardly any oxidative notes. Beautiful light orange colour; perfect with tagliata.

From magnum. No notes, but this was exceptional and not at all weird. It was universally loved by wine geeks and non wine geeks as well.

very hard to rate this wine as only first time drinking this type, but this wine is very pleasing and can be drunk with or without food.
