earlier Matassa. These are things I'll never know now because I failed to record vital data. I think my epiphany bottle was possibly from the 2008-2012 era but I can't say with certainty. Grrrr I could kick myself.

I thought I wasn't fond of NSA wines — the Badger Mountain didn't taste like (any other) cab to me + it seemed faulty to me. But then things I hated at first like gin, pinotage, peaty whisky, + fennel / anise / "licorice" flavors grew on me over time. I wonder what role a wild ferment played in the

it was a darker yellow, so I wonder what any influence of early experiments with skin maceration may have had in the pleasingly weird flavor. I wondered what role low or no sulfites may have played, because I tasted a Badger Mountain NSA cabernet sauvignon before having the Matassa + based on that

Spanish #viura to me, but now that'd make sense if GG was the majority grape. So now I'm forever left wondering if old vines really made that much difference in that odd flavor. I've had GG of unknown age in other blends + none of them stood out like that. I don't recall the exact hue but I think

much a current expression would differ in flavor profile from that eye-opening bottle I ordered from a NYC retailer over a decade ago (FedEx pushed it up to about 70 USD). I wish I'd kept good notes so I could OCD-analyze it now, since it's not made the same way today. Even then it didn't taste like

however now it seems #oldVine #grenacheGris (GG) has always been the major (apparently rare) component. It's the strangest wine I've ever tasted, but very pleasant, not fautly. I'm so nostalgic for it + Google (Gemini) gives me inconsistent guidance on what Lubbe may have been doing back then, how

I wish I'd kept better notes on the #MatassaBlanc I tried over a decade ago (e.g., vintage), I feel like I might've tasted it during a pivotal evolutionary window of #TomLubbe 's practices into a more overt "natural" + "orange" wine. I thought #macabeu was the majority in a 3-grape blend back then,
