Starting a bite nervous and eddy, but on day two the wine was quite brilliant with a very fresh bouquet (white fruit, little flowers) and a very balanced taste, a bit oily and an elegant fresh backbone ending with superb bitters. The combination if the Rolle grape with some Semillon is a perfect marriage.

If the Rolle gives the impression of ripe rocks and purity and a tiny bit of Semillon gives a smooth taste than you have a very elegant wine with a superb persistance and with a long aftertaste with refreshing bitters. With an extra year in the bottle the complexity has gained. This is really very good.

A crystalline, very pure and balanced wine with very good expression of the rolle (appr. 90%) and some semillon. A midtaste with a bit of glycerine and a finish with lovely bitters.

See my previous note and I add that the light bitterness (the Rolle) gives this wine an extra dimension. The wine did very well with ravioli (stuffed with spinach and ricotta), wild salmon, mushrooms and tomatoes.

I'm a fan of this wine, but I'll try to be objective! Lovely fresh bouquet with a hint of opulence (but no sweetness) followed by a taste with ripeness, some glycerine and spices (rolle) completed by the smoothness of the semillon grape; overall impression: elegance & persistence
