Completely different from the bottle tasted in February. Totally reduced on the nose, extremely stinky, needs decanting and vigorous swirling to reveal the actual character of the wine, but even after three hours it remains difficult. Ripe green apple. The quality is evident, but more time is needed.

A private lunch (Restaurant Europizza, Amsterdam, NL): Already very open and giving, rich and fleshy like a ripe peach, lovely touch of reduction, fresher and less oily than the 2019, earth and minerals, ripe citrus and a hint of dried pineapple, great terroir expression, excellent drive and length.

A "cult" wine tasting and lunch (Restaurant Bak, Amsterdam, NL): Energetic and fresh for such a warm year, develops its typical peach skin character (especially on the finish), intense acidity, great drive and precision, very good length.
