  Nice clean SB nose, gooseberries, huge nose of blackcurrant leaves, a bit round and "soft on the edges". In my opinion a mix of old and new world in style. Very good taste with an acidity and minerality which are quite subtle. A bit of sweetness, resembeling that of the taste of the root of the common polypody, is also present on the palate of this wine.
  Very nice indeed. Might even survive a year in the cellar.

  Currant leaves, flint and gooseberry to more tropical fruit on the nose.
  Dry and rather fruity medium bodied palate with harsh drying acidity. Not totally integrated feel. Thanks to the acidity the wine feels rather heavy. Otherwise I liked it.
