February 11, 2024 - Excellent
This has probably plateaued and is on the downslope, but still drank beautifully from PnP. See Dec. 2021 TN. Maybe some more earthiness this time and drank in one night.

December 29, 2021 - Reading through the most recent TNs from 1 - 2 years ago, I conclude that time has been kind to this wine. It seems I'm lucky that I waited. This was an excellent expression of the style. The purity and freshness of the berries / cranberry and red fruits was irresistible. Pleasing damp earth and farm and forest elements would peek in and out. Perfect acidity. Medium finish. Clean and nice on its own and with food. On the second night it did take on a bit of that lactic quality that I dislike in so many, but here it was a slight, secondary characteristic and it actually added positively to the experience. 12% abv.

October 18, 2020 - This was great. Nose was cherries -mostly sour, herbs - mint, and passing by a stable. On the palate this was juicy and earthy with a touch of tingle on the tongue - first sip. Structure was soft but evident and the acidity provided the frame for a delicious experience.

May 12, 2020 - Pop n' pour and this was uber funk-filled and spritzy -- to my palate not drinkable. Put it into a decanter and not much better. Poured back into bottle and tried the next night. This has tamed way down and is now enjoyable, though still funky and leaning into its natural style. Not for the faint of heart.

March 4, 2020 - Red wax top. Transparent ruby. Nose feral red cherries, wild/animal, ? Brett. Palate light bodied, red cherries with a wild streak, strongly mineral, slightly chalky finish. Light, 12% abv.
on day 2, prickly gassy mouthfeel. Lactic/sour/nutty. ruined by the brett. unfortunate.
