February 11, 2023 - Väldigt mycket mörkare färg än jag förväntade mig. Symbolen på CT var visserligen samma som för rosé.
Blint på näsan hade jag kunnat säga fransk, torr cider. örtighet, fat, hö och honung. Påminner även mycket om Muscat och belgisk, spontanjäst öl efter lite luft. Gula russin.
Påminner om sherry i munnen och jag misstänker att vi gått förbi fönstret för detta vin. Inte defekt i min bok, bara konstigt och inte speciellt angenämt. Saknar vettig syra och frukt -

April 15, 2022 - I have enjoyed this wine many times but this vintage is fading - the edginess and excitement are gone but it’s still very drinkable. Recommend drinking now.

February 13, 2022 - A private lunch with friends (Café Parlotte, Amsterdam, NL): Made from Albanello and Zibibbo, 15 days skin contact, aged for six months in cement, 12% ABV. Beautifully made orange wine in a wonderfully clean style, absolutely nothing off, flowers and musky notes, silky and succulent, with percaline tannins, complete finish, good length. For those into German wine (like I am), this would be a putative cross between Riesling and Grauburgunder.

September 8, 2020 - Such a compelling wine. It smells like (sweet-ish) Moscato, and the initial impression is also kind of like that, but it quickly evolves into a savory, herbal and dried-fruit combination that develops fantastically in the glass over a few hours. A contemplative and delicious macerated wine (15 days of skin contact, I believe). Good QPR at $28, though prices have crept up on this cuvée over the years.
