cjsadler Does not like this wine:
April 5, 2017 - Hmmm... volatile acidity and a few other funky-in-a-bad-way things (flaws?) going on with this wine-- definitely one of the more unpleasant natural wines I've had. I wonder if it just didn't age well.

September 22, 2014 - Lavender, dark honey, apricot, blueberry, kiwi-seed, prune, rosepetal, etc... Truly complex noses cover both white and red elements. Attack is so clean and seamless like rose wine. Finishes with velvetty but tranaparent sweet tannin. Amazingly bright, conveying directly the original fruit of the extraordinary quality grape.

May 5, 2014 - Decanted 90 mins. ahead. Very dark garnet color with a rusty tinge. Nice nose of black pepper, cherries, bread. Firm on the palate, with iron notes and tart cherry flavors. Finishes with lots of tannins. This wine is def. interesting now, but it's youthful. Needs time. Maybe lots of time.
