DAY 1: Appearance: Golden colour. Nose: Initially mainly oxidised yellow apples. Gradually the oxidised notes retreat and minerals mature yellow berries and (unoxidised) yellow apples come to the fore. Also some slightly saline / seawater notes. (88p+) Taste: Nice, quite rich, slightly oily, a slightly subdued, sweet fruitiness, a lot of freshness/acidity. Nice exit with slightly sweet fruit, freshness oiliness and a slight bitterness, transitioning seemlessly into a long aftertaste. Very well balanced and long taste. (89p) Very convincing and slightly different quality wine. The wine appeared younger and fresher the longer it aired, over a 2,5 hour period. I guess that this will keep for several more years, potentially developing further. Total score 89 points.

Fully mature, pronounced smokey minerality, hazelnuts, ripe and generous fruit. Peaking now.
