Light, fresh nose of pineapple and quince, a bit herbal. Some sweetness, tropical fruits on the palate and a long finish with a pleasant bitter bite. Medium light body. Nice.
Milk, some oak, quince, nuts on the nose. Oak made this wine creamy. Grapefruit on the finish, also quite bitter. Wine was firm, with a solid core. Properly made, but not very lively and interesting.
7m in oak. Soft hazelnuts and butter on the nose. Mild, proper balanced accidity, some butter on the palate. Citrus and a bit if exotic fruits on the backpalate. Quite youthful and lively now, not overoaked. Would be interesting to see how it develops. Very good.

Lovely brett, quite nuanced, sweet, firm nose of black pepper. A bit edgy on the backpalate, short finish. Ok.

Ouch! Powerful, jammy, fruity nose of cheap merlot. Soft, bitter palate, unpleasant finish. Didn't like it at all.

Grilled, smoked meat, some gasoline and zefir sweetness on the nose. Taste is rather bland - some pepper, round and simple.

Poor, bitter, commercial wine, no character, no body. (C+)

Not-that-sweet jam, soft peppermint, ok.
