Finare's note below from 2014 is apt for us -- including the observation about lacking appreciable richness. Still, nice stuff. Edit: we let it rest two days, and found it somewhat more rich and complex after that airing.

Smakstart på Sturköbaren: Enticing nose with pungent aldehydes and curry spice, fenugreek and lovage, candied lemon peel, walnuts and a whiff of cheese shop. Light, fresh and clear on the palate - extremely enjoyable but perhaps it lacks a bit of fullness and concentration to be really great. We still have to see what time and/or a long airing might bring. Needless to say it's a smash-hit with comté.

Golden yellow. Not too oxidative in the nose again, ripe apple, lemon peel, herbal notes, baerawecka. Very bright, direct, precise and clean in the mouth, great lemony acidity. A marvellous Vin Jaune, built to age and clear as a mountain stream.
