750 ml corked and caged bottle purchased at Martin City Pizza and Tap in Kansas City, Missouri. Batch 15-1 printed on label. Cork jammed in again, but this time opens with a pop. The pour is a mostly clear copper, orange, ruby with a small light tan head. The aroma is orange citrus fruit, bit of the oak wood and some of the metallic I picked up on in the last bottle. The taste is fruit up front, blood orange, tart blackberry and finishes floral and wood. Bright tart fruit lingers in the aftertaste. The palate is light to medium bodied with low to flat carbonation and the bright fruit finish. Much improved. 6,4,7,3,14 - 3.4

750 ml corked and caged bottle purchased at Martin City Pizza and Tap in Kansas City, Missouri. Batch 15-1 printed on label. Cork was really jammed I’m, took quite awhile to open. Finally comes out, with nary a noise. The pour is a clear orange ruby with a few soapy tan bubbles. The aroma is a bit metallic, orange citrus fruit, wood and oak. The taste is metallic oxidation, blood orange blackberry fruit, moving towards some floral spice and then closes with woody off flavors. The palate is medium bodied, entirely flat with oxidation and wood that lingers. Clearly cork didn’t do it’s job, bummer, I’ll need to find another bottle. 6,3,5,3,12 - 2.9

Bottle thanks to theisti . Pours a ruby hue with a small white head. A big berry and oak nose. Interesting one: big sweet oranges and berries, light sourness, something akin to oak, a thin palate. Pretty smooth. Solid.
