December 28, 2017 - No formal notes, but drinking very well now. Clearly nature wine.

August 16, 2015 - Nice brown with clear rim
PnP initially all raisins and plum.
But with 2-3hrs air it opened.
Nose; beautiful deep crushed ripe red berries, smoke, tobacco and coal.
Love the low alcohol, putting forward red berries, sweet red drops, Red Orlic tobacco. Very nice dept and length with a medium body. -

August 23, 2011 - Completely awkward. The nose was clearly oxidized and the palate expressed so much acidity a resemblance to vinegar is accurate. Sad.

August 1, 2011 - This one is going to be a matter of personal taste. Reminds me of the beer I used to make in my kitchen in college - tastes very unlike any "commercial" beverage, but is oddly delicious. Nice acidity, great earth, and refreshingly low alcohol. I like, but will keep these for personal pleasure, not serving to friends.
