Bottle drunk 1/1/25.
Deep violet-burgundy-crimson. Clear. Pink head.
Beautiful, almost lightly saline grape in the nose shows no aggressive acidity and is backed by a wheat-like, soft, biscuity maltiness. Light Brett, moderate funk overall, vanilla, cherry and blueberry notes with mild floral and pure, unadulterated, aged red wine on the finish.
In the mouth it's stunning: what all grape "sours" should aspire to. The grape shows low acid, nothing punchy, sharp or heavily drying, with a meaty, juicy, earthy and lightly salty flavor that is softened by oak, wheat and malt. Perfect balance with exquisite flavors and a supple texture. Dry, but not too dry. A masterpiece.
