hazy auburn/maple syrup color with a small off white head.
lots of caramel in the nose... notes of wood, red wine, spicy brett, rubbery cherry skins, slate and flowers.
the palate is a great balance of sweet/caramel versus dry versus tart... toasted walnut skins, lots of tannins, caramel, herbaceous and grassy, wood, brett stink and it’s dryness with a black peppery finish. there’s a lot of watered down wood aged red wine vinegar noted as well. it’s on the lighter side of medium bodied. dry tart mouth feel is slick with little to no carbonation.
this gets way stinkier as it warms near the end of the bottle!

Nose has hints of lime zest, sweet caramel, bread dough, mild barnyard notes and a nice vinous merlot twang. Very tart up front quickly turns dry and oaky...leading to a bit of citrus zest and a dry, clean finish. Gotta love the Jolly Pumpkin! Bockyhorsey (2554), Mesa, Arizona, USA
