Addictive and absolutely stunning. Super elegant and lean when compared to the Buntsandstein from E&M. Ethereal cherry 🍒 light as air. Crushed Marble. Essentially like a Premier Cru Chambolle Musigny from the slopes of the black forest. Tannin’s fully resolved. Drink Up!!!! I would not keep this longer. From here on out it will loose its luster. — 3 months ago

Looks like peach nectar, with the lightest, looping bubbles in a loose bunch atop, becomes a petri sample of fruit fungus, then all clear to firework lacing and morning mist. Big wood notes, though not as toasty in parts, cigar box, funky softwood of dead forest fall, ripe for mushrooms. Lovely dried lemon peel, orange peel, and dried apricot in cigar boxes, live pineapple and pencil shavings in a clean attic. On the palate, yellow cherry, funky sour pineapple, lime-cedar, lemongrass, savory, dried okra, a drop of orange bitters, nose filling blood orange, and lemon oil for the duration. Fantastic nuances, amazing balance, woody depth. Just fine craftsmanship here, from the old school. — 5 years ago

15 years later still has fruit up front with red cherry & boysenberry tones. Some earth and mineral towards end. — 10 months ago

Costco find. Opened up very much with petrol and diesel on the nose and mouth. But it turned beautifully into a floral and crystalline expression of fruit. Not much depth but good acidity to balance out the sweetness. Eminently quaffable even with a very hearty moose curry. — 2 years ago

A wine to drink without food to fully appreciate as it is at a point where it is starting to loose its intensity but has lots of complexity still. Don't wait too much longer — 4 years ago

An interesting primitivo. The fruit is a bit more subdued favoring light kisses of plum and currant. The cognac barrel stands out prominently. I get cocoa powder and a bit of vanilla, maybe a touch of tobacco. It's full bodied that balances out a tannic and alcoholic finish. Still has the intangibles of a primitivo but makes me want some brandy. Creamy mouthfeel, touch of slate. Would love to have again. — a year ago

Very even mouth, and pleasant finish. Paired well pasta, but it could loose its subtleties with a spicy dish. — 4 years ago

Bottle 59 of 60.
This one didn’t have the stuffing my last ones had. Slight sour taste on the finish — 5 years ago
