Robe jaune dorée; Nez en fraîcheur. sur un mélange de fruit à chaire jaune comme l'ananas & la mangue qui aurait été écrasé sur des galets de rivières. Il y a côté florale bien développé, une pointe de gomme à savon ainsi qu'une arrière trame de cire d'abeille. La bouche est large, riche, juste assez supporté par l'acidité. Moins tranchant ce dont à quoi je m'attendais. Ça reste somme toute très bien équilibré. Le fruité en attaque est riche, texture quasi huileuse. La finale est sur les épices vertes séchés, des notes salines & une amertume agréable. Bref, l'ensemble est encore très jeune malgré ces 11 ans. Très bon!

Lunch at De Librije *** with Hermanos. Much richer than anticipated. Light footed (at 13%). Paired well with various fish dishes and foie gras with shrimps from the North Sea. Power, delicious but lacking some tension, probably due to the vintage

PnP and then drunk over two days, with a small leftover five days later. Next to the Dellchen of the same vintage which was a stunning contrast. The nose was very different, much more on mineral notes, wet slate or something like that. Bolder and heavier, with more evident residual sugar on the palate. I enjoyed it on the first day, but this is borderline too heavy for me. With marinated, spicy chicken it was fine.

• Color: Medium lemon • Nose: Pronounced, floral, subtle petrol, honey, lemon, mango • Mouth: Pronounced, slightly sweet taste that is so pleasant, wet stone. • Long and pleasant finish, very well balanced

I thought this was terrific with good acid but not searing and excellent fruit with modest sweetness
