8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8
Bottle pour at FHF 2024, pours a deep dark mahogany with a small pink head. Aroma is musty and dry, with plenty of red wine grape skins, wild yeast, and some musty apple skins. Flavour is bone dry, with lots of red wine grape skins, fermented out grape juice, and wild yeast. Wonderful funk character and incorporation of the grapes. Excellent.
