Straw yellow. Upon plop, apple juice aromatics. With time come aromas of mild citrus and newly cut grass. Beautiful, but rather "appley". (Not the bruised apples.) In the mouth: a beautiful, mellow showing that is simply majestic. Young M de S&M never have these mellow tones. Acidity is just under crisp and the wine fills my mouth with intense elegance. This is long and complex. To be enjoyed for many hours! …with just a hint of apples - towards matured Red Delicious.

Served touch warm, but this showed beautifully. Really caressed the mouth. Lovely notes of crushed seashell. No real discernable oak, but a complex and contemplative wine that was enjoyed by all.

Concentrated fruit on the nose with notes of passion fruit, banana and gooseberries. Glue, mushrooms and nutty oak. Dry and fullbodied palate with refreshing acidity and vibrant fruit. Lees, smoke, mushrooms and nuts. Long. Rather delicious stuff! Especially for 7,60€.

Nose: Appealing fresh nose of pomelo, lemon peel and grapefruits
Taste: An overall mild flavour profile of China pears, saline, minerals and a hint of citrus. Balanced and well made but overall i just felt it could do with a bit more flavour.
