Volatile acids and slight lacquer worked well. Still some fruit and an amaro aspect with herbal hits. Not great and on the edge of enjoyment but still had a presence.

No formal notes. Not as oxidized as other reviews suggested. Healthy, bright med. golden colour. Complex nose with citrus, flint, honey, baked apple. Medium body, dry, nicely textured and quite elegant, mellow yet fresh acidity, minerals, apples, almonds. Long, complex, balanced, no hurry to drink.

Ripe oxidized fruit on the nose: apple sauce, lemon and a hint of apricot. Lots of other things happening as well: honey, wool, smoky oak, minerals, straw and fennel. Dry, medium bodied and slightly greasy. Good integrated acidity. Well in line with the nose. Ginger, leather, nuts, toffee and minerals. Long and delightful. I like.

Deep gold. In the nose a sweet scent of apricots, dried fruit, minerals and spices. In the mouth dry with fresh acids, complex flavours with nuts, peppercorns, raisins, chalk and fresh mountain air. A long and satisfying aftertaste of minerals and some toffee. All in all quite delicious! Mussels in cream worked well.
