  Super cloudy, and a lot CO2 fizz. Perfumey nose of grape hi-chew candy and ripe red cherries. Lots of VA on the nose and palate. There's a distinct cola note with high fruity acidity. Quite vegetal once it settled in glass. Almost no feeling of tannins in the finish. Very high energy wine, cool stuff but not my preference in Pinot to be honest!
  
  Also would note after 5+ of hours of opening, VA notes started to dominate over everything else, leaving nothing behind in the glass.

  Supper with Daniel (and the girls) (E & M's in the rocks, Sydney): From half bottle. Like the 2014 this also proves thick, sludgy and soupy. Volatile notes compete with wood glue on the nose. It didn't make to the mouth. FLAW.

  Slight fizz, very cloudy, very disappointed based on QRP. Hesitant to purchase anything further.

  Tomato leaves. Organic prunes and cherries. Very faint hint of VAs that does not bother. Meaty notes that resembles a bit like a salami.
  
  Very good minerality and this is quite the natural and pure style.
  
  93 points.
  
  Second round: a lot of VAs on palate, horse sweat, very little if any significant left at this point. 93 points.
