  November 6, 2016 - Narince grapes coming from 18 year old vines planted at the Cotes d'Avanos vineyard in Cappadocia at 900m altitude. Fermented and then aged for 9 months in French oak.
  Brass in colour showing peculiar wet stone notes out front followed by smoke and then yellow fruit aromas. Oak is also dominant on the palate despite the pure, intense fruit. Mediu weight with bright acidity.

  October 11, 2015 - Tasted as part of the 2015 Şarap Tutkunları Tasting in İzmir where I was invited as a guest along with Aslı Odman. The tasting panel included Dilek Caner MW, İsa Bal MS and Ayhan Güleyen. The following tasting note and the relevant score belongs to me only.
  Brass with yellow highlights. Initially tight displaying floral accents to the yellow fruit and sweet lemon core. Very typical and true to this variety. Mid-weight with a smooth texture. Clean, well made wine.

  September 28, 2015 - A business dinner (Nusr-Et Steakhouse, Etiler, Istanbul, Turkey): Very similar to my previous note from May 2015; an elegant and stylish rendition of the Narince theme, this time with a gentle honeyed aspect noted in particular.

  May 7, 2015 - A business dinner (Restaurant Ulus 29, Istanbul, Turkey): A substantial wine, 14% ABV, fermented and aged in French barriques for nine months on the fine lees. Ripe fruit, citrus and white flowers, creamy palate but not too soft, well-integrated oak, styled like a richer white Burgundy. Very good.
