  De Kersentuin Wijn Club 19 sept 2022: light, well balanced, young impression. No resistance to food.

  Still alive, muts and vanille. Little flat on the nose. On or past peak. Pop and pour.

  2/19/2022 - WildeMeeuw Does not like this wine: 76 Points

  Kleur: Licht goudeel Aroma / bouquet: Zwaar. Tertiair. Super-oxidatief. Sherry / madeira. Smaak / Afdronk: Log, vermoeiend - tenzij je een liefhebber van zoetige Sherry bent. Algemeen / potentieel: Volgens Parker drinkbaar tot 2025. Volgens Galloni een wijn voor liefhebbers van 'volwassen wijnen', drinken tot 2023. Mijn opinie (en ik ben ECHT een liefhebber van belegen wijnen) is dat deze wijn al in 2017 levensmoe was. Ik hou van rijp, maar niet van terminale bejaarden! Een halve kist weggekieperd. 50 + Kleur: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 7 + Smaak / Afdronk: 9 + Algemeen / potentieel: 5 = 76/100
  
  Colour: Light golden yellow Aroma / bouquet: Heavy. Tertiary. Super-oxidative. Sherry / madeira. Taste / Aftertaste: Heavy, tiring - unless you're a lover of sweet Sherry. General / potential: According to Parker drinkable until 2025. According to Galloni a wine for lovers of 'mature wines', drinking until 2023. My opinion (and I am REALLY a lover of mature wines) is that this wine was already tired of life in 2017. I like ripe, but i don't like terminally aged! Half a box thrown away. 50 + Colour: 5 + Aroma / Bouquet: 7 + Taste / Aftertaste: 9 + General / Potential: 5 = 76/100

  Awful. Not drinkable. Should have been consumed a few years ago.

  13% alcohol. Tasted blind.
  
  Quite deep golden yellow color. Waxy, developed and very Viña Gravonia nose with aromas of toast, some creamy richness, light savory wood tones, a little bit of perfumed floral character, a hint of woolly lanolin and an oxidative touch of nuttiness. Very lovely. The wine is oily, moderately full-bodied and quite developed on the palate with flavors of creamy richness, oxidative nuttiness, some buttery tones, a little bit of crunchy white currant, light ripe gooseberry tones, a hint of grassy herbal character and a touch of saline minerality. The high acidity keeps the rich body well in check. The finish is long, crisp and wonderfully complex with long flavors of lemony citrus fruits, browned butter, some apple peel bitterness, a little bit of woolly lanolin, a hint of beeswax and a touch of stony minerality.
  
  A beautiful, complex Pessac-Léognan white. My first guess was Viña Gravonia, which gets is name for being "Graves-like" - I guess the name is appropriate, since I think the real thing tastes like the wine it tries to emulate! Heh. All in all, this was a very positive effort; quite developed, but it is hard to assess whether the wine was at its peak now or still going up. The wine is definitely starting to exhibit some nutty oxidative tones, but it still seems to show some room for improvement, so I wouldn't be surprised if this turned out to be even better with some additional age. Great stuff, recommended.
