Peachy-plum colour, opaque. Thin head. This one's fairly tart, lots of stone fruit. Some tannins, but the sharp acidity is pushing the envelope for me, but the fruit isn't bad.

750mL bottle, pours a cloudy dark orange with a small white head. Aroma has deep juicy plums, some spiced notes, gentle funk, and a little petroleum. Flavour is juicy and yet dry, with lots of tart, spiced, juicy plums, followed by gentle funk, and moderate acidity. Juicy, dry, tart finish. Not one of their top ones, but very good.

Poured from 750mL bottle (Season 21/22; Blend No. 5). Hazed dark pastel orange with small white head. Mild plum, subtle funk, hit of acidity, needs a little bit more complexity, but decent.

750mL bottle, pours a cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma is uniquely complex, with plenty of rhubarb, big barnyard funk, and crisp apple skins. Flavour is complex, with a wonderful rhubarb character, deep barnyard funk, some gentle apple skins, and a touch of oak. Great rhubarb and funk character. Excellent.

Hazy, dullish peachy colour. The aroma has a nice bit of leather, brett, wood. On the palate, it's got a nice fruity character, good cider, some rhubarb that lends a bit of brightness. Quite funky, and the fruit blends in with the funk well, complementing it.

Cloudy darkish red. The aroma has a lot of cherry and a good dose of strawberry as well. Yeah, it gives a bit of strawberry jam. On the palate, the acidity comes up sharp, before the fruit takes over, in particular a sour cherry. Definitely intense fruit, with a bit of oak tannin in the finish. There's no wow moment for me - that first blast of strawberry comes close, though.

750mL bottle, pours a deep dark mahogany with a small white head. Aroma is pretty intense, with loads of deep strawberries upfront, followed by rich tart cherries, moderate funk, and gentle oak. Flavour is massively expressive on the strawberry upfront, complemented by tart cherries, medium acidity, and oak. Not hugely funky or complex, but has such a nice fruit depth—almost a syrupy palate. Very nice.

Poured from 750mL bottle. Hazy amber brown with small white head. Lots of strawberry, mild cherry, feint earthy funk underlay, a bit of tartness. Enjoyable.

750mL bottle. Pours murky dull orange with a white head. Musty nose with nice barnyard funk and plum skins. Flavour has a nice amount of barnyard funk, moderate to high acidity, plum skins. Great.
