Nasal: Spice, black fruits, blackberry, smells a bit sweet or artificial like fruit juice. Lacking depth, and not very interesting in the nose, but classic and pleasant.
Palate: Immediately hit by the acid. The alcohol burn is also very noticeable. It feels a watery in the mouth. The tannins are present, but can he forgotten due to the noticeable alcohol. It does not last long in the mouth, but leaves a bitter taste.
Conclusion: Ate it with truffle pate. The wine highlighted the truffle, exactly because it lacked the depth, but had the classic traits.

Notes: apricot, raisins, orange. Deep nose, still fruity, but gets hints of tertiary notes. It got hints of spicy notes too. Classic and strong nose.
Mouth: It comes in filling with a bit of spice, it tickles every spot in the mouth where oxygen hits after the wine has been there. It is sharp in its spice, but has a fatty feeling that rounds the spice off. It keeps flavouring the mouth for a long time. After swallowing the pallet becomes tart. It is naturally very sweet as well, which ties the wine together so you immediately yearn for another glass.
A delicious glass. It is lovely to drink, and it captures the essence of wine with botrytis. For its price it is an amazing wine, and I would recommend everyone to try it at least once.

Notes: green apple, mango, fresh soil, pine tree/pine needles, very pleasant nose, with an interest balance of notes, that gives it a fresh but interesting aromatic composition.
Mouth: high acid, burns slightly while in the mouth. Heavy acidity almost like grapefruit, but not as bitter as pinot gris. The alcohol is 13% but the feeling of alcohol stands clear in the mouth after swallowing, which goes well with the bitterness.
Definitely drinkable now, and already seems very well developed. A pleasant and strong glass.
