Super intense green apple nose that is creamy and full-bodied. Lovely hint of hazelnut also. Quite intense and a dense green apple fruit on the palate that is just packed with citrus notes and plenty of acidity. A huge wine that will continue to improve.
Restrained nose showing only some minerals and a little citrus. Intense citrus flavors with a lovely bitterness in the aftertaste. Also a great touch of grapefruit. Long intense aftertaste and a big structure. Needs more age to really open up but overall a great first impression.

Exotic and full-bodied nose. Very intense exotic fruit on the palate with a touch of vanilla and a decent amount of acidity. Seems a bit restrained and could use more time to open up. A great wine.
Intense and deep nose with a full-body packed with pineapple, mango and vanilla. Just a hint of wine-gums. Packed with pineapple fruit on the palate with a solid acidity and a long and solid aftertaste. Perhaps a bit over the top but I really liked it :-)
Dense nose packet with impressions like blueberry pie and some kirsch with a touch of vanilla. The palate is similar to the nose and it is very powerful and dense. Even though it still maintains a fair level of balance in the wine. Very impressive effort true to its US style and with the touch of Alban...
Sweet raspberry/strawberry nose with a dusty touch but also a floral complexity and other aromatics. Juicy and full-bodied rhubarb/strawberry on the palate with a fresh and elegant acidity. Also a strange touch of beetroot.
