April 22, 2023 - A private dinner with friends (Polsbroek, NL): Expressive, fresh, waxy, spices and orchard fruit, hint of vanilla, gentle bitters, lovely balance and elegance, very good resonance and length.

September 15, 2018 - In full bloom, very expressive of vineyard and vintage. Marries elegance (12.5% ABV) and intensity, freshness and delightfully ripe fruit, with earthy notes, a hint of waxy bottle-age and subtle grapefruit bitters. Harmonious, lovely precision and length. Still energetic, drink now and over the next 3-5 years.

August 26, 2017 - Subtle yellow fruit on the nose. Medium bodied, dry, decent plummy yellow fruit with a hint of vanilla. Good acidic structure and great balance.

January 28, 2017 - German wine tasting followed by a Lunch (@ de Nederlanden): In the bouquet a bit rustic with bruised apple, white fruits and minerals. On the palate minerals, white fruits, wet stone, good acidity and length and a touch of petrol. 91 - 92

January 28, 2017 - A German Wine Tasting-cum-Lunch (Restaurant De Nederlanden *, Vreeland, NL): Playful and elegant, refined, has aged very well, drinking beautifully right now, powerful, slightly closed on the nose, lovely length.
