Tasted Thursday, April 4, 2013 by Zweder with 286 views
All wines were tasted fully blind.
A year in the bottle did the wine good. The oak is more integrated, although there is still some vanilla. Beside that lush yellow fruits in the bouquet. On the palate the same. Also some limestone minerality shows as well as a touch of sweetness. Nice wine though.

Almost the same (blind) note as last year. Not really sure what to think. The oak is still quite dominating, but one way or another it also gives you that luxury feeling. The minerals show, but the fruit is a bit overpowered. Give it some more years of ageing so the oak can integrate.

Bouquet with cherries, dark fruits and laurel. On the palate a lot of fruit yoghurt, but also spiciness, a touch of sweetness, firm acidity and stick tannin. For the bargain price of around $6 this might show to be an excellent buy in 2 or 3 years from now. For the moment I score it 82.

Cherries and raspberries in the bouquet. On the palate cherries and a firm amount of bitterness. I was not really impressed about this vintage, but who knows what the future will bring…. Give it a few more years of ageing.

Red cherries and dark forest fruits in the bouquet. On the palate dark fruits as well, spices, leather and pepper. Soft tannin, good acidity, also quite much sweetness and firm bitterness in the finish. Overall a good and harmonious but not extremely complex wine.

In the bouquet red as well as dark cherries, plums and herbs and spices. Same on the palate with good tannin and acidity and a firm amount of bitterness. The oak is well integrated. Nice wine. Ready now and the next few years.

This bottle was still a bit sparkling. On the palate sweetness, blossom, a lot of flowers, candy and pleasant acidity. Not extremely complex, but certainly a pleasant and almost elegant sweet wine.

Concentrated wine with a lot of sweetness. Apricots, raisins and other dried fruits. Some bitterness in the finish. I did not write anything in my note about the acidity, so I assume it was ok. I scored the wine 86.

Enormously concentrated. Botrytis, apricots and polishing wax. Good balance between sweetness and acidity.

Expressive bouquet, clean and fresh apple. On the palate not extremely tasty. Grasses, tart apple, a little bitterness and bananas in the finish.
