Monday, August 8, 2016 - I have to say, this wine was a crazy experience for me. When I first opened the bottle, the funk and aroma was unlike anything I've experienced. I would describe it as a dirty diaper that you want to keep smelling but don't know why. On first taste there was an explosion of berries, funk and savory notes, mushrooms and wet earth. After letting it sit open for a few hours, things mellowed and everyone started playing nice with each other. Blackberries, raspberries, mushrooms, dirt/earth, that unmistakable funky I keep talking about and much more came to life as i drank it. Very strong on the merlot I would also add. It hit its peak drinking after being open for 5 hours or so. Day two, flat, borring, lost all its life and it's funk. Wamp wamppp

I think a few more years will do this bottle well to bring more of this madness together but don't let that stop you from drinking it now.

I bought this for $65 and have to say, I don't think it was worth it. A very fun and wild wine to experience but $65 can get you some much better juice.
