Unscrew and pour. Final btl. Notes from 3 days open. On the nose: meyer lemon, grapefruit, intense slightly underripe guava. On the palate: excellent acidity, good density, wet stone, a prickle like nettle, more guava and grapefruit. Excellent.

Unscrew and pour yesterday. Notes from day 2 open. So good. A hint of RS, lemon, peach, melon. On the palate: fantastic acidity, good density, and very soft sweetness on the finish. Excellent.

Solid if not spectacular, punches at its weight with crisp lemon and grey notes. Notable is the absence of any petrol notes, perhaps age might reveal because a recent tasting of Sybille’s ‘13 Spatlese trocken was rife with gasoline.

Okhuysen Haarlem-Proeven tussen de Stellingen: Friendly and pure bouquet, the acidity is still a bit hard and needs time to soften; the wine is still closed.

Glad I popped one of these. Unscrew and pour, but drinking very well upon opening. A little less refined than the Spat, but nice nose with a hint of effervescence, wintergreen, pineapple, and pink grapefruit. On the palate, goos acidity, but a touch soft on the palate. Very good (and a big hit with dinner).

Terrific! In a wonderful place now but this seems likely to hold for several more years.

Love this - stinging acidity and agreeably ripe fruitiness.

17 showing leaner and tighter than 16, but opened up after an hour or two

Zippy acidity initially, but it started falling apart less than one hour in, becoming cloying and hard to sip on. 12% ABV.
87-88

Zippy but still a little rich in texture and weight. Solid showing.

Lovely again. Tropical fruit, and good savory herbs. Fantastic refreshing acid. Lovely clean finish. I only bought 4 of these? Sigh.

Tropical notes and some length in the finish but best drunk in the next year or two.
