Domaine La Vrille et le Papillon
Tous Cousins Syrah
Ardèche, Rhône, France
low sulfur syrah, tight and gritty when opened, but has opened up nicely this morning. quick raspberry up, blackberry in the back, and enough bacon to make we want actual bacon. weygandt-metzler import.

Definitely NOT a wine for everyone. On the nose: bacon, funk and more funk. In the mouth: funky red fruit, Brett, bacon fat and herbs. Medium finish. I'm not sure it's traveled all that well from France. **update 2 hrs later** MUCH better. Most of the funk blew off, leaving a lean and savory Syrah. Much more of a fan.

Delicious and funky. I imagine this is what wine tasted like 100 years ago.

Brett bomb. Smoke and cured meat. No fruit. I like funk in wine but this is too much for me. But interesting to try if you want a very forward example of those flavors.

I do love a little stink in my drink. Bacon... still on the hog. Rough and rustic in all the right places.

Was really excited about trying --unfortunately, this stuff was awful! This is just really poorly made natural wine.
