RS18 is a sublime texture of crimson velvet sweatpants and also a rich concentrated core of saturated sweet stewed fruits. A total standout. Some won't tolerate. This is unapologetically raw and oozing with VA. But like it or not, this is an experience and I like experiences.
Deep aromas of spiced cranberry and apple cider turn to flavors of syrupy dates and grape jelly. Plays tricks on the mind. Is this really sweet? Or just perception? — 3 years ago

Pours maroon, feels purple velvet.
Unashamed acetone, like the best nail polish and wild jungle juice. Dark plums and raspberries with a sweet midnight pruney core.
Sweet and tart and pulpy and a good ride if you raised your hand and signed the waiver. — 7 months ago
Wow, what a ride. Skin contact chard from Hungary with addition of barrel fermented Szürkebarát (pinot gris). The nose is very interesting and inviting with almost a botrytis scent to it, along with apricot, honey, tangerine peel, a bit of leather too. Wow this is not super clean but it's super complex. The palate shows some acid drive, some tannic structure as could be expected for a skin contact wine (24 days in clay amphoras for the chardonnay), apricot, honey touches, a bit of a round mid palate with those tannins before a rather long, slightly drying finish with that honey, apricot note that goes on for ever. This is definitely a style of wine which is not for everyone but it's one of the better structured orange wines I've had. Think radikon from Hungary (for a nicer price tag). 14% abv — 2 months ago
