Light yellow color. Exotic nose with pineapple and white pear fruit and a mineral backdrop. Fairly robust on the palate with exotic fruits, pineapples, peaches and pears, expanding first at first but it then pulled together by the tight acidity leaving room for a mineral driven finish. The acidity is tart, and maybe lacking a bit of freshness.

Light straw yellow color. Super pure and wildly intense nose with white flowers and pears. Equally intense on the palate, with more fat and ripe white fruit, pear and lychee. Gaining notes of flowers and minerals on the finish. The somewhat full bodied taste is perfectly balanced by a striking acidity and great length. Very nice.

Light yellow color. Pure, intense aromas of asparagus, slightly exotic with lychee, white pears, pineapple and a flinty mineral touch. Similarly pure and intense on the palate with exotic fruits, white pears and lychee at first, while picking up some mushroom and white flowers on the midpalate and finish. Juicy but with striking acidity. Very fresh and amazing length.

Dark straw yellow. Very tertiary nose with notes of petrol, schifer, rubber and mushrooms. Tired on the palate with some wet cardboard box, mushrooms, rye bread and a slightly oxidized note. Lacking intensity and feeling a bit watery.

Clear light red color. Good, giving nose with strawberry, earth, charcuterie, pork chops and salmiac licorice. Primary first on the palate with notes of strawberries and red currant, pure and delictate. On the midpalate picking up notes of milk chocolate and licorice, and finally a bit of herbs on the finish. Going from fairly sweet fruit to a somewhat dry, tart finish.

Clear red color. Explosive nose of red berries, pure cherries and strawberries, very primary. On the palate it has intense primary red fruit, strawberry and cherry, and some chocolate and herbs on the midpalate and finish. Good length and powerful acidity that cripples all the way down the throat. Overall very youthful and pure impression, which promises well for the future.

Clear light yellow color. Intense nose with exotic fruits, lychee, white pears and wine gums. Very juicy, delicious and fresh on the palate, intense and concentrated exotic fruit, like pear juicy. On the midpalate and finish it has a growing backbone of minerals. Good length and superbly balance by powerful acidity.

Clear light yellow color. Intense nose with aromas of exotic fruits such as fat, ripe pineapple, mango and honey. Juicy fruit with a delicate sweetness on the palate, primary flavours of pineapple, mango, lychee and white pears. Great concentration and a syrupy mouth feel. Very delicious with powerful, refreshing acidity.

Clear light yellow color. Intense nose with aromas of wine gums, champagne extract and white pears. Loads of white pears juice on the palate as well, but with more nuances of mushrooms, minerals and white flowers on the midpalate and finish. Very good length and refreshing acidity in perfect balance with the sweetness.

Light yellow color. At first the nose seems dominated by sulphur, however after a bit of air more delicate notes of white pears, white flowers, petrol and rubber show up. On the palate it has notes of green apples and pears first before getting into more mineral and perfume notes of wet stones, flowers, mushrooms and petrol on the midpalate and finish. Very good length and a fine acidity.

Amber golden color. Great, intense nose with notes of brown sugar, mango, coconut and caramel. On the palate it is very inviting and easy drinking while at the same time possessing the complexity to attract ones full attention to marvel over this. Delicious sweet fruit, syrupy texture and honey notes. The underlying powerful acidity makes this dance over the palate.

Light yellow color. Sulphur dominated nose with sulphur, cabbage and rye bread. It even has sulphur notes on the palate and small bubbles. Decadent sweetness, clearly marked by the residual sugar and the slightly under balanced acidity. With some air notes of pears and mango manages to push the sulphur a bit to the back, but the overpowering sweetness is still present.

Amber golden color. Smoky nose with notes of caramel, burned sugar and apricots. Fresh and lively acidity, and a touch of sweetness, which is nicely balanced and marked by its age. At first some dried fruits, primarily apricots, unfortunately the midpalate is a bit thin and watery with slight notes of mushroom before the medium intense finish.

Amber golden color. Honeyed nose with aromas of exotic, ripe fruit, wax, petrol and wet stone. On the palate it is sweet but restrained by lively, powerful acidity, with delicious and delicate notes of pineapple, mango, smoke, spices, wet stones and other minerals. Very good length and perfectly mature for very pleasurable drinking now.

Dark yellow color. Fresh nose with aromas of yellow fruits, pineapple and petrol. On the palate it is juicy and very fruit driven with flavours of pineapple, pears, plums and perfumed yellow flowers. Not as sweet and intense as the gold capsule version, but very good length and perfectly ballanced.

Light amber golden color. Very inviting and intense aromas seems to jump out of the glass with notes of apricots, orange marmalade, caramel, exotic spices and fleeting nuances of perfume and incense. On the palate it is huge and layered. First with lots of tropical fruits like mangos, oranges and lychee, then more dried fruit, apricots, and flowers. On the finish is has notes of minerals and caramel pressing through the ongoing layers of fruit and sweetness. Syrupy viscosity, but just when you think the mouth coating nectar is going to become sticky a whiplash of acidity brings it back in balance. So overwhelming, yet so elegant.

Amber golden color. Fantastic nose with aromas of apricot, figs, dates, banana, scorched wood, rubber, petrol and wet stones. On the palate it is extremely fat and layered, stunning intensity in the exotic fruits, dried bananas, oranges, apricots, figs and dates. Out of this world concentration, but the most unbelievable lightness and crispness. Clean and pure flavors, perfume and flowers fields, crazy acidity, which surprises in this complex and extreme syrup-like dessert wine. So much power, but at the same time elegance without comparison.

Dark golden color. Very inviting nose with sweet, dried fruit, apricot, honey, browning pineapple and banana, brown sugar and lavender. Fat, fat palate, literally syrup-like texture. Insane concentration and intensity, loads of exotic fruit, pineapple, mango and litchi. The palate is almost completely dominated by primary fruit, only showing the very first notes of maturity. The extreme sweetness and thick texture is held in tight reins by the laser-like acidity, which is so powerful to balance this extremity that you can almost feel the enamel disappearing from your teeth.

Dark amber golden color. Mature nose with notes of black rye bread, burned sugar, caramel, orange peel, mushrooms and dried figs. Similar notes on the palate with caramel, burned sugar, mushrooms, wet stones, minerals and dried fruits, apricots and figs. It never becomes really sweet and the lively acidity keeps it crisp and on its toes. Very nice length.
