Cloudy coloured. Musk, herb, slate and apple. The palate has a round element but the acid comes in over the top and on the finish it feels too harsh. A little bit dull overall as well.
Musk, peach, floral and pear aromas. Seems to be plenty of dosage on this, medium length and the fruit feels like it is lacking in depth. Has some appeal from the aromatics though.

Bruised apple, some earth and sherry - plenty of interest. Has good texture and acidity, with a good balance between savoury and sweet notes. Very good.
Funky yeasty, honey on the nose and palate. Tropical fruit shows itself through pineapple and mango - there is an oxidative edge to it as well. The palate shows the age a bit more than the nose does, but it has good acid that helps to cleanse. Drink now.
Appealing nose, peach and pear with spice and mango. The sweet fruit shows on the palate as well, but it has good acidity to counter. Some more depth would be good but this was nice overall.
Yeast and funk, some apple and lemon zest and light florals. Palate is medium bodied and while there is some texture, I'd appreciate more. Medium length too. Nice but not overly interesting.
Black currant, violets, licorice and plum. Heavy sweetness on the palate with black jube like fruit. At the same time it has a hardness to it, so it struggles for balance. Dislikeable.

Apricot, pear and lime aromas. Rounded, with ripe fruit influence - more acidity needed and it ends up feeling very one note.

Very light nose - musk and light cherry. Palate is overly sweet, and though it has more flavour than the nose I wasn't impressed.

Funky, animale with raspberry and rhubarb. Acidity is very raspy and and sears across the palate. Interesting but not exactly pleasurable.
