  Decanted. Now 2.5h after decant. Hazy dark rose / pale garnet color. Aromas of mild volatile acids, bitter herbs, medicinal bark, stems, strawberries, raspberries, and some watermelon. Palate with tart raspberries, unripe strawberries, pomegranate and mild cranberries with a strong bark and herbal components. Fantastic acids with mild tannins and some balsamic vinegar notes on mid-palate. Nice moderately long finish of herbs, bark, stems, and fruit. The skin contact really lends a lot of savory notes here balanced nicely by the red fruits. Different and really interesting. Unlike most pinot gris that I've had - made in a light red wine style. I like this. 90+

  Stunning dark strawberry color that reminds one of a pale limpid 50 year old Nebbiolo. Nose is off-putting to me - too much yeast covers up what is clearly delicious red apple notes below. Palate is slightly effervescent and creamy with apple, strawberry, sweet grapefruit and chalk. It, too would be stunning but for the slightly lambic yeastiness on the finish. But, my oh my, aside from that, I don't think I have have ever had such a positively different wine. And this is hardly my first skin-contact Pinot Gris/Grauburgunder. Excellent.
  Chilled, then decanted off the yeasty sediment and let warm up before tasting.

  À l'ouverture, trop de réduction, notamment une odeur de plastique. À carafer impérativement. Cerises, kirsch, fumée et wine gums. Une belle texture glycérinée. Meilleur après une bonne aération, mais m'a laissé sur ma soif. Bouteille déviante?

  The darkest of the E&M orange spectrum, this bottle is darker and redder than most roses. There’s a lot going on here, some of which is great (the perfumed ethereal floral and complex aromas) and some of which is less so, to my taste at least (a slightly yeasty/lambic thing). So color me ambivalent on this one.
