So... an orange wine... clearly some sweet tangerine and honey. Somewhat orange, with a bit of caramel on palate, but still dry

Good acids, and a cool minty nose with cherries. Some good flavours of red cherry, bread and grass. Nice!

Intense and raisinny, and some sweetness, and secodary but still well balanced by the high acids, which lifts the wine. Also with cherries, cassis, and mint

Intensely sweet and raisinny, with chocolate and coffee, and grass. Still some powerful tannins. Pretty enjoyable

A pronounced, yet cool minty honeyed nose. A nice bunch of fresh roses on the palate, red cherries, plums, and strawberry jam, as well as a grassy undergrowth. Fairly long finish of strawberry and mint. Really enjoyable and definitely feels much younger than a 1990

Good sense of sour cherry and strawberry, markedly acidic, and clearly a coffee and chocolate flavour from the oak ageing. But somehow, the fruits and oak are kind of diverging... Could have been more integrated

Nose of strawberry, grass, and herb botanicals. Some green tannins and acids, and a pretty good intensity and spice, with blackberry, cherry, and grassy

A good hit of plums and cherry up front, but little underneath, and instead with a heightened alcohol heat... ouch...

Lightly ruby coloured, and very acidic, and still with good tannins. Sour cherries, raspberry and grass. Nicely balanced and classic

Very funky, topsoil nose, which softens later to reveal lavender flowers. Still a lot of acids and tannin structure, while intense, with cherry, blackberry, grass, mint, and liquorice. Good power!

Powerful and complex nose of cherries, coffee, chocolate, grass. Tasted mostly mouth-drying tannins, bit of grass and oak, and a hit of whatever left of the acids and alcohol towards the back. Underdelivered

Italy, Lombardia, Franciacorta DOCG
Nose was pretty mild, but there definitely is a hint of bread and yeast. Fine, soft beads. Lemon, bread yeast, and a plume of elderflowers. Quite enjoyable

Pale rosy orange, and a broad nose of summer fruits and menthol. Lots of dried florals, grass and brine on the palate, and somewhat heaty
