  March 1, 2024 - Kräftiges Goldgelb. Offene Nase, reifer Apfel, Tarte, Zimt, mineralische Noten, jedoch auch etwas Kleber, flüchtige Säure? Im Gaumen dicht, konzentriert, ein Mund voll Wein, nicht überladen, die Säurestruktur stimmt, der Alkohol ist wahrnehmbar. Würziger Abgang, sehr gute Länge, salziges Finish. Ein interessanter Wein, jedoch nicht auf dem Niveau, das man von dieser Klasse erwarten könnte. Bis 2030+

  July 5, 2023 - Oxidized to the point of being undrinkable. Ugh, so disappointed.

  May 28, 2023 - Dark yellow, with aromas of citrus and honey. No oxidative aromas at all. Enormously fat, rich and concentrated. Impressive!

  November 23, 2022 - Nose toasted on flint. It will gradually develop to become honeyed.
  
  Mouth of incredible richness. And yet, the touch is silky, it's wax, but with a very fine acidity to tender this enormous juice on a magnificent bouquet of flavors such as tangerine, orange, pear and walnut. The wine refines in the glass, it becomes more floral, with a hint of oxidation and sweet herbs. What finesse for such a rich wine! Impressive finish that coats the throat for long minutes on the white flowers.
  
  Impressive.

  October 15, 2022 - J.L. Chave Hermitage vertical tasting (Freiheit Vinothek, Ulm, Germany): Double decanted some hours before. Clear, deep golden colour. Beautiful smoky nose, very complex and deep with some ripe fruit and lime peel.
  On the palate very fresh and completely different from 2011 and 2012. Never fat or chubby. Wonderful tension, great structure and balance. Very long and complex finish. Way better bottle than my previous one. Close to greatness. 94-95
