Not really exciting and somewhat indifferent

Impressive for the vintage and has potential.
Mostly pineapple fruit with a good depth and a nice intensity.The wine was served a bit to warm which unfortunately left an alcoholic impression.
Pineapple fruit with a good acidity and a lot of vanilla. Juicy and delicious.
Dense peach fruit with spicy white pepper and a lot of minerality.Lovely but again served to warm.
Classic, tight with some elegance and lovely intensity.
Huge wine. Dense and powerful but still restrained. Very impressive.

Cool but still dense pineapple fruit with lightly spice, mostly white pepper. Lovely elegance and good intensity.
Juicy and elegant wine, very pure and with some minerality but still fatness.
Dense and a little flabby. Unstructured and a bit weird. Lots of oak.
Stringent and lots of minerals and a great structure. Medium long aftertaste. A huge wine!
Tight and lovely pineapple fruit with a great structure and impressive balance. Great wine.
Blackberry, coffee and a sharp acidity with a hint of bacon in the mid-palate. Unstructured and dominated by alcohol.
Blackberry kirsch, liqueur, christmas cake spices. Dense fruit but still in a good balance. The alcohol is however dominating a little bit.
Very strange expression at the moment. Seems very young but also odd. Some grapefruit flavors but also minerals. The fruit is very tight and dense.
Full-bodied brown apples but still a sharp and fresh acidity. Lovely wine.
Lots of aged tones, brown butter and popcorn. Sharp and fresh acidity and still a young backbone and profile.
Intense green apple and an extreme acidity. An adorable and immense wine. Loved it!!
