The wine has a brown rim. In the bouquet red berries, oak, earth, autumn forest, soy and some barnyard flavors. On the palate also a quite mature, but still lovely wine. A lot of stable impressions, but still very pleasurable with good acidity and some sweetness and fully melted tannin. No score.
In the bouquet earth, cinnamon, autumn forest and red and black berries. Same on the palate, creamy fruits, good acidity and slightly sticky tannin. Overall a pleasant and creamy wine which will probably improve a bit over the next 3+ years.
In the bouquet creamy dark forest/berry fruits, licorice, caramel and autumn forest. The same on the palate, good acidity, firm acidity and bitterness. Still very youthful. A wine in its puberty stage. Around 2024+ probably much more refined.
Tasted beside 2008 Suduiraut this wine is much more concentrated and less elegant at the same time. Orange peel, apricots and honey. Very good quality, but not as refined as Suduiraut. I score both wines the same; each for their own merits.

Beautiful wine with a lot of sweetness and garrigue. White pepper, good red fruits, soft acidity and round tannin. A wine which offers great pleasure.

No formal notes, but this is a youthful and elegant Sauternes. Honey, apricots, beautifully fresh sweetness and acidity. Really beautiful wine.
