Straw with a green tinge. Smelled nettle, pineapple, sugar snap peas, and some wet rock; the taste held to the greens with some citrus notes. Medium bodied with high acidity and a medium fruity finish.

Fin balans mellan fräschör och rondör, med bara en lätt touch av fat utan att bli för mycket. Dracks utan mat - inte alls så dumt - men hade gjort sig ännu bättre med fisk och smörsås.

Light yellow color. Distinct herbal aroma with nettles, pears, citrus and with a spiciness that goes towards cardamom. The taste is fresh with good amount of acidity, yet being rounded.
With aromas acknowledged from the nose: herbaceousness, citrus and a clear fruit concentration.

Nose: Wet stones, green apple, blackcurrant leaves.
Palate: Round on the entry with soft acidity and some sweet stone fruit. Mid-palate has some creaminess and vanilla which is also present in the aftertaste.
Acidity is not up to par here compared to the previous two vintages.

89 vvPunkte / Verhaltener Duft, zeigt mineralische Anklänge, Noten von Apfel und frisch gehakten Kräutern, dazu etwas Salzzitrone. Im Gaumen frisch, weiche, cremige Textur, milde Säure, im Abgang mit einem laktischen Touch und guter Länge. Stimmig.

Not bad, but lacking the tension and acidity of the 2021 vintage

Wine During Sue’s Visit; 3/1/2024-3/3/2024 (Princeton, NJ): Another good vintage -maybe better with a little bottle age. Stone fruit, tropical fruit, herbs and more. Great with the guacamole with pomegranate. Drink now or age.

Pale lemon.
Pronounced on the nose with gooseberry, asparagus, lemon zest, peach, passionfruit, and cinnamon. Youthful.
Medium plus intensity and dry on the palate. High acidity, medium alcohol, medium body, medium plus finish.
Can drink now but has potential for aging.
