Very intense flavors, packed with impressions and lots of minerals in the aftertaste. The fruit is lemon and some exotic fruits (apricots) but it has also a clear touch of oak which is charming. It is quite rich but still has a lovely clean and fresh aftertaste with some bitterness coming nicely through leaving an impression of a nicely balanced wine. Loved it!
Lots of baked red apples and it is clearly starting to show some age. Still, there is lots of freshness and overall, it is very interesting and nice to drink right now.
Very expressive and elegant wine. Opens up very nicely with air and has an elegant raspberry/blueberry fruit but also some game flavors. Piercing and refreshing acidity that really livens everything up and clearly impresses. The wine is all about elegance and intensity. Very impressive.
Packed with light and delicate raspberry/strawberry fruit but also with a lot of tannins that shows especially as the wine gets warmer. Overall, it is very impressive and just lovely to drink on a warm day. Loved it!
Lovely quince and pear style fruit but still with a lovely acidity. It is clearly showing some age and seems to be at its peak. It does have some forest floor and mushroom hints which is very charming. A pleasure to taste!

Packed with blackberry/blueberry fruit that is quite refreshing. There are also some oak influence coming through but only in a complimentary way. The drying of the grapes are hidden behind a lovely acidity that really refreshes the wine. Overall, it is very impressive for its style and is a pleasure to drink.

Interesting and complex fruit flavors. Comes across as a Rhone style blend and is certainly interesting.
