dense dark magenta color. nose with ripe strawberries and raspberries then brooding tar, clay, seaweed, and sweet florals. light bodied with lifted fresh acidity. lithe. dark dried strawberry, raspberry, cranberry, and rose petal flavors. dry rooibos tea on the finish with spice on the edges. darkened since my last tasting and no longer vibrant and bright but on a good trajectory. developing beautifully into a mature wine and really fun to taste such a metamorphosis in a few short years. second day added some juniper berry on the nose

3/2022 disgorgement. light gold colored. medium mousse with active fine bead. honey, toast, cocoa, walnuts on the nose. light bodied with good acidity. palate with some sweet toasted nuts, honey, roast apples, oranges, malted chocolate, and a lime zest finish. good finish with a well tempered sour aftertaste. well dosed for a brut, not too rich or cloying. excellent.

murky light ruby. sugared beets and raspberry nose. shows some muted stony earth. light and crunchy. dry and grippy with loads of tart berry fruits. vaguely herbal finish. i love the style and this is an exemplary, pleasing jura red blend. but unfortunately it lacks the distinction to really live up to the price point.
