A wine from avant garde specialist winemaker Ian Dai, from Ningxia in China. Au naturale. This is 75% syrah with the remainder made up of the cabernet-grenache hybrid of marselan. And yes, naked of a front label too.
A really unusual red wine, quite rich and round, warm, lots of feral musk characters, sweet spice, old rose petal, skunk and fox and then ripe plum, mocha and dark chocolate-mint. Out there and kind of compelling in its way – a true experience wine that should be shared around and discussed. There’s a touch of early decay to the wine, some old spice cupboard and dried fruit characters, roasted nuts and prune. It feels quite out there, and not quite prosecuting its case in full, particularly with balance and energy. - The Wine Front
