September 10, 2020 - Still drinking quite well, but not as exuberant as it was just a year ago. Tamed funk, wild red berries, fine tannin, edge-of-cool-forest. Enjoyable, nicely balanced, good with not-quite-loaded faux-burgers. Questionable QPR at $30 USD.

Lots of berries and (not particularly subtle) barnyard funk. To me it drank pretty well with tart berries, good acid, clean finish but some time might help bring it together. Others in the group were not so forgiving of the more natural style and rated it down.

October 16, 2019 - I found this irresistible. Such purity and focus with wild berries, turned forest floor, spices dancing around and fun funky notes including some aging meat and perceiving a pleasing! touch of VA. 12% abv.
