Pretry good.
Dried cherries. Anise. Great, great abundant tannins.

Delicious. Balanced.

Actually use some unique hops. Not just a piney hop-bomb. Some artistry.

WAY better than my first bottle.

Cherry coke and mild urine (but great, desirable urine).

Not gonna appeal to everybody, but I thought it was great.

Medium-heavy, but not bombastic. Candied cherries, a little cough syrup & strawberry finish. Crazy smooth. — 10 years ago

Cherry, grape soda, earthiness. A little like a complex, tannin-y frappato. Smooth, plenty of tannin, but no bite.

Really good.

Ripe, fruit o' tons, a little savory note. Full flavor, yet still acidic and relatively light in the mouth. Yay.

Sweet line, melon, honey.

Great acid, but carries some heft, some slight oiliness. Torrontes & semillon had a baby. Very versatile and delicious.

9.1

Way too early. Open it and try it on about day 4 or 5, then the fruit and nuance begin to come out. Still plenty of acid to spare. — 10 years ago

Sweet tarts, although that doesn't quite capture it. Really light & fresh.
Awesome. Much better than last year's vintage, IMO.

Never had a wine exactly like this. Delicious & bravo!
