Very deep golden colour suggests the wine is nearing the end of its drinking window, but the tartness of the acids, and the clarity of the ripe pear flavours suggest there is still time in hand. A touch of Jura oxidation, green herbs, minerals, and hazelnuts adds considerable interest.

Full maturity. Roast pear, toasty oak, oxidation, dried meats. Very brown pear skin. Oyster shell -like a very funky Chablis! A wine with huge character and a great partner with food. Golden and advanced colour, but the nose and palate are fresh and complex. A brilliant expression of Chardonnay. Spicy palate, very very bright acids. This will continue to develop, but I like where it is at the moment!

A wine of ridiculous character - whether or not it is to one's taste is another story! Sherry, wet stones and spice on the nose. Crazy acids with a body close to that of vinegar on the palate. This has huge power and presence and is very Jura in style. A unique style that needs 7 years before revisiting....91+?

Jura tasting with Wink Lorch (Maison Vauron, Auckland, New Zealand): Toasty nose, hint of oxi/Jura cut. This is a very stylish wine - very bright, very young, very fine. Beautiful spice. Outstanding.

typeriktig, god juravin med sitrus, oksider eple, nøtt, flor og mineraler på duft. Fint balansert i munnen med god syre.
