Saturday, August 5, 2023 - Colour: medium(-) gold
Nose: medium(+) intensity, secondary, youthful. Lemon, mandarin. Peach, nectarine. Passionfruit, pineapple, maybe mango. Gooseberry. Mint leaves, tonic water. Wet stones. Cedar/splintery oak, vanilla, caramel.
Palate: dry, medium acidity, medium alcohol (13,5%), medium(+) bodied. Medium length finish, medium(+) intensity. Lemon, mandarin. Peach, nectarine. Passionfruit, pineapple, maybe mango. Gooseberry. Mint leaves, tonic water. Wet stones. Cedar/splintery oak, vanilla, caramel, cream. Touch of phenolic drying character, maybe from the oak.
Conclusions: (good to) very good (esp. on day 2). Can drink now, but suited to further ageing.
Seal: natural cork
DAY 2: maybe even better after being left open in the fridge overnight. Oak is still prominent, but a bit less overt than yesterday. Stone fruit and pineapple have come even more to the fore. Really nice!
