Friday, July 9, 2021 - Tasting evening with Bas en Lennart (Thuis): [Tasted blind] I could not pinpoint it and was surprised to hear it was a oaked Verdejo from very old vines. 10 months on French barriques sur lie, which shows in its oily mouthfeel.
On the nose: Spicy, marmelade, oak, citronella candle, unripe mango/pineapple. Slightly oxidative. On day 3 even apple sauce.
On the palate: Pear, apple sauce, stone fruit. Slight bitterness in the long finish. High acidity
