BYO Centropa (Centropa, Oslo, Norway): Mørkere strågul. Veldig moden duft av melne epler, kamfer og et tydelig oksidert preg. Litt vel langtkommet med preg av modne epler og eplemost. Stram og syrlig og avslutter litt kort.

Light to medium lemon yellow color. Fragrant, floral nose with ever so slight oxidation evident along with citrus and wet stones. Palate has medium+ acidity with a chewy texture, nice unctuous mouth feel, with light grapefruit and a saline finish that is a bit short. This needs some air and after 30+ minutes it gets a good deal richer and rounder. Great food wine that was excellent with both a crab and mushroom crepe and a pan seared skate wing with brown butter and capers. This was quite good but slightly disappointing given the producer's reputation and cost. Much more satisfying with the food than without.

Drank in a flight with 2008 Coche Dury and 2017 PYCM les Chrmes. This looked superb, edgy, mineral great drive and precision. Will go many more years. Vale Didier!

I was very much looking forward to this rare wine and generally found that it underwhelmed. Displays a surprisingly light/medium yellow color (extremely light for 14 year white, even accounting for Sauv Blanc) which was not a great first sign. The complexity on the nose was pretty good, some lemon peel, rosemary, fresh flowers. In the mouth, acidity was still fairly high - not a bad thing - but it didn't have the fruit structure to back it up. Not sure that age will help despite the reputation of the wine as being cellar worthy. Stood up to a nice fish, so good decent body, but outside of the name, I would not say that this is a "special" bottle of wine. Pleasant, drinkable, but don't need to rush and buy more.

Des odeurs de soufre, de pipi de chat. C'est très sec et extrêmement vif. La très forte acidité cache le fruit. Ne laisse pas une belle bouche. 150 $ au Québec. (Dégusté à l'aveugle) (https://vinquebec.com/node/15278)
