  Medium-fullish nose quite oaky. Yellow orchard fruit, ripe pear, mango, and some wet stones. Quite elegant despite the oakiness.
  Medium-fullish, fresh, palate. Good balance between oak and fruit. Good depth. Yellow orchard fruit with hints of tropical fruit. Lacks some intensity, concentration and persistence.

  Ljusgul färg
  
  Honungsmelon, småblommigt, en viss söt doft, aprikos, smörigt
  
  Torrare i munnen (förvånad), medium längd, medium syra
  
  Ingen vidare rolig flaska. Efter att ha provat viner från producenten tidigare blir jag väldigt tveksam till framtida köp.

  Light yellow. I very much liked the nose that was very typical for the grape in my view with pineapple, apricot and crushed stone as well as some sea breezy notes. In the mouth, it wasn't as good as in the nose, it was a bit stump from the oak, seemed slightly flat and not sufficiently dynamic. Maybe some more years in bottle will help.

  Light citrine color. Nose has apricot, citrus fruit, hay, coastal aromas, and wet slate. The palate is mostly mineral flavors, offset by rich, sweet oaky flavors and a buttery texture. Flabby, with little acidity. Not quite as fresh and lively as I like my Rias Baixas, despite a promising nose.
