  Pop n' Pour - Translucent, cloudy, red color. Strawberry, cranberry and white pepper scents with just a hint of bret/old barrel peeking through on the scent. Bright strawberry flavor with good, well integrated acidity. Light in body but very flavorful and glugable. Seamless on the palate with subtle, ripe, fine-grained tannins and a juicy finish. This has held up well and is very enjoyable. Would go great with goat cheese and fruit spread.

  So much fun... This still showed just a bit of spritz upon opening. On the nose this was a bit dirty, very peppery and a nice red fruit nose coming through. On the palate it was light and fun, with great depth. This was a perfect balance of fun and serious wine. Tasted with 3-4 other nice wines and this was almost every bodies favorite.
  
  I was scared that at 10 years it would be past it's prime, but it was still lovely... Heading to the Loire in a few weeks, going to have to track down more of their wine

  sweaty, rose petals, some light balsamic.
  palate - light body, acidic, band aids, dried leaves, some stewed fruit. Tastes a little over the hill, and the brett is more prominent now than I remember previously.

  showing signs of fading, but very nice earthy notes and complexity. The brett is there too, in the background.
