March 29, 2020 - Straw with golden tint. This shows significant and unusual bottle variations, though all bottles were bought and cellared at the same time, same place and same conditions. This is obvious due to different cork qualities. This is clearly one of the better ones. Fruity with pineapple, peach, lime, brown sugar and heliotrope. 5/12/16/9

January 3, 2019 - No detailed notes. A bit unbalanced with high sweetness and not enough fruit. Not bad but somehow disappointing. 5/11/15/7. Maybe going through an awkward stage, but I'm not that optimistic.

September 7, 2018 - Midgolden. Tropical fruit like papaya, mango, pineapple and slight hints of cocos sometimes. On the palate also brown sugar and spices. Still quite sweet, but with enough balancing acidity. It shows first maturity, but it has years to come. Nevertheless it lives not up to my expectations from 2011 in terms of intensity and vigor, but better than the last bottle. 5/12/16/8 -2023 if stored in a cool cellar since release, maybe longer.

August 19, 2018 - Very similar showing to my last bottle a few months ago. Love the balance of sweetness, richness, minerality and acidity here. Beautiful.
