You get greeted with what feels like 200% new oak. After a while it starts opening up more. Vanilla, honey, stone fruit, nuts and wax. Very oily mouthfeel, and quite a lot of bitters. Long finish. Elegance is not something this wine knows, very big and bold. Well-made but not my style. Not a punishment to drink by any means.

BYOB dinner NOTK (Rotterdam, NL): Right upon opening, a lot of oak (and I mean a lot of oak). But with 20 minutes this really showed itself with apricot, honey, bee wax, minerality, vanilla (obviously). Medium acidity, long finish (with a nice bitter note)

Ouvert et bu sur 2 jours, sans grand changement. Robe champagne, limpide. Arômes plutôt retenus de fleurs blanches, de cire d’abeille, de noix. En bouche, puissant et riche, assez gras mais sans excès. Pas mon type de vin toutefois, fatigue vite le palais.

Rich, oily, peach, wax, flowers, a substantiall bitter note, lemon peel. Not my style, but objectively a good and well made wine.

Light golden color, big, rich, yet elegant, predominantly Marsanne, complex nose with floral notes, honey, long finish, years to go.
