I made an analogy tonight of learning about wine and skiing. @DirtyandRowdy is definitely a double black diamond trail. You either love it (like me), feel exhilarated and thrilled. Other people might feel like just slid face first into a tree. One thing is for sure, it's never boring.

Freshly opened and fresh tasting, although it still needs air to really shine. 2nd or 3rd day best according to Rowdy and Lady Rowdy.

Incredibly fresh and vibrant considering the skin contact. 11.6% alc. Lemon rind, beeswax, lanolin. Evolved continually with air and as it warmed. Too bad 2014 was the last vintage.

13' Dirty & Rowdy Semillon. 11.6% ALC. Cloudy, medium golden color. I would've guessed an orange wine. I would've never guessed Semillon?

An aperitif wine, that you could carry right over to a meal. Decanted for an hour(it's needed)Little barnyard, citrus skins on the nose.
Lemon core, wet stone/rocks, orang peel, poundcake. Serve at cellar temperature, if not a little warmer.

A couple hours in the decanter really help this unfurl. However, if you're waiting for fruit, it might be a long, long time. This is all about savory mineral texture. Excellent with some orange & fennel halibut. There must be some magic dust that @Hardy Wallace puts in the all the D&R bottles to make them taste better after a three hour decant.
