Bottle courtesy of Kostas at Kykao, tasted with the München Ratebeer Group Christmas Tasting Friday 2nd December 2022. Hugely sulphur on the nose, taste is better but this is very, very unusual. Sweetness, fruity but with a wine like tannic rub. Ok, actually I like the wine feel about this but the aroma is hard work.

Clear bottle. Hazy rosé, low head. Farty, leathery nose. Light body, dry, acidic metallic on the palate. medium light body, very rural, fruity finish. A bit strange.

Bottle at the Christmas Tasting. Lightly pink clear, small head. Aroma like the first drink I had legally at a bar after turning 21: Monkey Fart (I think), super crazy complex nose. The flavor is herbal, wine grape notes, tire fire sour notes, really interesting one with such crazy complexity I can't even describe.

0.75l bottle, thx Fin&Loz, Garching XMas tasting. Murky reddish-amber, tiny off-white head. Sulfuric aroma, old barrel, grape touches, lightly grainy. Fruity, paint touches, not harsh, not pleasant entirely. Lean, soft taste, raisins, loads of raisins, bit spicy, muscat is correct I guess, lightly tart, much better than the aroma, lightly herbal. The muscat skins saved the taste, not the aroma.

Bottle. Deep rosé color with white head. Aroma is farty, sulphur, rosé grapes, funky. Taste is concentrated grapeskin, earthy, raisins in the back. Fizzy carbonation. A weird one.
