Finally popped the cork on this. Wasn't exactly sure what to expect, as I've only tasted a couple of the reds before. It is definitely an orange wine. It needed a lot of time in the decanter to open up. This will certainly be a divisive one. I ended up warming up toward it but didn't find it mind-blowing, just interesting and kind of nice. Opened on NYE as a tribute to Henry-Frédéric Roch, who passed away late last year.

Tasted blind. Orange tinge, incredibly reductive at first. After that blew off, it smelled like sweat. Clearly not a conventional wine... In the mouth quite rich, no noticeable oak but lots of flint. This was a crazy wine and I can't tell if I like it or not...

Skin contact orange wine. Stinky as hell.
