More tittlespirt from TheBloodyPulpit:
- We bought this wine last Summer on the Jaffurs Futures. When they arrived, I tried one of these fresh off the boat & thought it a bit tight & closed. In the intervening 6 months, it has really put on weight & evolved into a lovely primary expression of Viog. Not a lot of complexity yet but I see no reason this won’t evolve into something pretty special in 4-8 yrs.
