Impressively intense green apple nose with yeast and floral notes. Equally impressive palate with plenty of fresh and acidic green apples and freshly baked bread. Huge acidity and overall a very lovely wine!
Kind of funky nose with chicken broth, coffee grinds, seaweed, sea water and sulfur (gun powder). A solid palate with both green and red apples with a slightly bitter aftertaste. Still quite fresh palate but the fruit is somewhat compact and dense.
Nose: burnt coffee, cola, brown sugar. Just old. Palate: No fruit left but still a little acidity. Coffee and chestnut, burnt rubber. Still a drinkable wine but clearly too old.
A lovely nose consisting of sweet and elegant red currants, strawberries with a hint of leaves/bush. The nose also has a hint of vanilla and barnyard. Pretty on the palate as well with a fresh strawberrry/cherry fruit and a medium long aftertaste that is quite tannic. There is plenty of complex green herbs and a barnyard like impression. Still quite fresh and a good structure and a wine that will just improve.

Quite heavy on the nose yielding boiled raspberries, a hint of vanilla and even a little black currant fruit. Powerful cherry fruit on the palate but only medium sweet which is quite nice and makes the wines seem quite fresh. There is also a lovely and refreshing taste of dried flowers on the palate which really lifts the whole impression. Overall a great, semi-traditional, yount wine with plenty of muscles but still with a lot of drinkability. Definitely also a wine that would improve with some age! 94-95p

Initially mostly mushrooms, iron and rust on the nose but with some air it showed lovely hints of black currant and barnyard. Still a young wine on the palate with lots of black currant fruit and a little iron and lead. The fruit is still quite intense with a lovely aged meat hint. This was definitely a wine that changed a lot over with a couple of hours of air. Initially it was lacking in depth but with some air it really put on a lot of weight
Expressive nose with baguette, green apples, hazelnut and a touch of butter. Plenty of exotic fruits also like mango and peach. Very exotic on the palate with lots of flavor depth and intensity. Plenty of pineapple and rye bread.
Very young yeasty nose with harsh fresh green apples. Seems very closed down and has some gun powder and black pepper. Hard and reluctant on the palate with immature green apples. Huge intensity and just a very that I think will turn out really well!
Seems very closed on the nose with mostly black currant fruit and vanilla. Concentrated black currant palate which seems young and creamy. Also showing some black pepper, dirt and a little lavender. Quite lovely and delicious with lots of acidity and tannins. Great young wine.
