750mL bottle shared by Dani at the SP LC Member party, 1/21/25.
Clear bright violet-magenta.
Fruity, vivacious nose, a bit more intensity but also young fruit and acidity than the older bottle I had at Ma Che. Still fantastic and promising, but in need of even more age to develop some greater funk and deeper complexity.

750mL bottle at Ma Che, 2020 cork, drunk 5/13/24. Magenta-sangiovese. Clear. Light pinkish head steadily to ring. Fruity, bright, robust and with well-macerated and mellowed grape. Gentle oak and vanilla. Some acid on the end but mellow and surprisingly malty overall. Malty, mellow, juicy, mild oak, well-aged grape acid. It's juicy as hell and the grape tannin only builds towards the end, balancing the malt and other sugar. Needs a bit more time to develop some more personality, I think. But as is, it's bright, malty, juicy, mellow and incredibly drinkable.

2015 bottle shared at the brewery. Deep ruby pour with an off-white head. Loads of concord-like blue grapes are both in the aroma and taste, some berries show too, heavy on the tannins, very dry and acidic, with an elegant funk. Great depth and complexity.

Veinine, mõru, väga tanniinine, hapu, kuiv, tugev sõnnik. Ok, varem meeldis rohkem, nüüd on tasakaalust välja läinud.

750ml bottle at Ma Che is a deep purple, aubergine. Clumpy pinkish head. Nose is deep with red grapes, lavender, red wine lees, some plum jam and some strawberry. Some old world wine barrel. It's deep. Flavors are huge grape skins, merlot more than anything, there is some port, earthy, some funk and some persimmon or Quince or something. Barrels round things out. Finishes with some funk. Dry. Long. Very grapey. Super unique.

Bottle shared at cantillion for Rich's 50th. A nice plumy purple coloured pour with a lasting loose pink purple head. Aroma is nice, red berries, woodland fruit, tangy, horsey funk. Flavour is composed of nice dry delicate berry fruits, cranberry, jammy berries, mellow funk, peppery, drying finish. Lovely. Drying cherry pips. Palate is tart and tangy, drying finish, spritzy massaging carbonation. Lovely.
