Very perfumed nose with a clear exotic profile. Hubba Bubba chewing gum, vitamin pills, glue and lipstick. Still quite mineral driven and a little strange.
Also quite exotic on the palate but also a tight profile and a little short aftertaste. Acidity is impressive but something seems to be lacking.

Intense nose with brown butter, white flowers and pineapple.
Wauw.. The palate is just intensely packed with brown butter and a little vanilla. Almost creamy in the mouth with a pronounced acidity. Some lemon and exotic flavors also but laced with a little sulfur notes.
Impressive wine!

A beautiful wine.

Nose: Raspberry, coffee and a hint of white pepper.
Palate: Massive wall of raspberry fruit and a very impressive acidity and tannin balance. Seems like a very big wine but it never really opens up fully.
Excellent...

Intense red currant nose but a little singular.
The palate is very fresh and packed with raspberries. Great structure and an impressive acidity. Long acidic aftertaste. A great wine.

Impressive complex nose with acidic red currants and raspberries. Some coffee and barnyard also.
The palate has a lot of sweet raspberry fruit and a solid acidity. It does seem a little closed but it is really a solid and impressive wine. Really long herbal aftertaste.

Primary nose with sweet strawberries and a little vanilla.
Intense palate with strawberries but also an impressive acidity. Long and fresh aftertaste and it it seems to have surplus of energy.
The acidity is really impressive as is the wine itself!!

Spicy nose with thyme but also some chlorine and a little raspberry. Very pure nose with also some rose petals.
The palate is elegant and the flavors are primarily raspberry and rose petals. It does however seem to dry out a little bit which could be from excessive oak influence.
There is however a solid clean structure and nice minerality.

Beautiful nose with sewer, red watermelon, raspberries with just a hint of vanilla and liquorice.
Delicious palate with an almost creamy texture to the fruit. Very elegant but still with a full body. Long and acidic aftertaste.
Impressive wine!

Sweet raspberry nose with a deep and intense profile. It is very fruit heavy and also shows a little dark plums and glue.
The palate is just crazy and simply razor sharp while still being extremely well structured. Plenty of fruit but not extracted in any way. Almost creamy raspberries that are slightly spices. Some white pepper.
A very long and clean aftertaste..
Simply a stunning wine!!

Wood smoke and coffee on the nose with a great intensity. Dark plums showing nicely with a very young profile.
Full-bodied but still very fresh on the palate. A very stringent acidity but a heavy and full aftertaste.
Elegant and beautiful wine.

Red apple juice on the nose.
The palate has a lot of yellow plums and red bruised apples. A solid acidity but clearly an aged wine. Long acidic aftertaste!
There is still an impressive freshness and overall a great wine! 95-96p

Powerful bread notes on the nose but still restrained and tightly wound. Still quite intense.
Plenty of fresh green apples on the palate with a pretty harsh and young acidity. Still remains quite elegant but well structured.
A slight bitterness on the finish which is long and pronounced.
Loved it! 95-96p
