I somtimes get a bit tired with keeping wines. But if it works out like that then it is a great surprise and worth the patience. Freshly cut wood, melon, still fresh pear. Great mouthfeel. Thick, some sweetness and perfectly balanced acidity. A joy to drink.

A little overoaked for my palate. Nice mixture of fresh green fruits but the oak is too heavy. I would never guessed this right - crazy but interesting. Worth a try but I wouldn't buy it again. Keep it for a few more years.

Right after popping the cork this wine was close to mind-blowing! Very fresh, with citrus, apricot, quince, white currant, pine and subtle oak on the nose, and citrus, lemon, pear, ripe apple and apricot on the palate, complemented by a hint of vanilla and subtle oak on the finish, all flavours carried by high, lively acidity, with a good, oily mouthfeel and superb length. But then, after only a few minutes the fruit faded till it was gone and all that was left was the oak and the leesiness... no clue what happened. 91(??)
