  March 12, 2023 - This wine has no discernible vintage but I'm going with 2021 in case there is some secret natural label code I can't interpret. Yes this is a natural wine, the color of a cloudy urine sample. My wife took one look at it and said "gross." Needless to say she wouldn't go near it.
  
  But they pay me the big bucks to be intrepid so I soldiered on past the unappealing heavily sedimented dusty yellow and slightly orange color. Yeah there's some skin contact here.
  
  I made sure it was plenty cold. The nose has a lot going on, lemon, orange, peach, honey, honeysuckle with a touch of citrus pith and some light VA and oxidative notes. Maybe you could say it was unfocused but I found it engaging nonetheless. it's an equally chaotic experience on the palate, ripe yellow fruit colliding with honey, bitter almond and a salty, tannic feel on the exit.
  
  This will not be everyone's cup of wine but neither is it a mad scientist's experiment gone wrong. You can appreciate it on its own merits if you can get past the appearance, unlike my wife.
