very crunchy, cranberries and cherries, fresh nose and deep prune color in the glass. Taste is mineral, with gravel dust in the mid-palate and back up through the nasal passages. Out of the ordinary and very interesting. Finishes with clay and no alcohol, medium tannins. Long subtle finish like mortar, cement-dust. Warning: next day the vinegar has set in, and i think i had the cork securely back in place. so this wine is close to over-the-hill. i dumped the rest of the bottle.
deep purple in the glass, thin, fast legs, velvety texture in glass. Sulphur and alcohol nose, not much fruit. Very smooth in the mouth, nice acidity but the sulphur comes through a bit much. Day 2 much better all around.
