AP number 18 23. Resinous nose with touch of reduction (flint), good drive and finishes on a smoky, saline note. Good prospect once the oak integrates a bit more.
AP number 11 23. Still that white pepper nose but floral/fruit character more present than in the Feils. Better balance for me but this is too embryonic to decide now.
AP number 08 23. Darker style, smoky/fumy SF on the nose, citrus in the background and gentle on the palate. Quince? Too green right now but stupidly complex.

AP number 13 23. White pepper dominated nose of spontaneous fermentation with white floral background. Wet stone and barely any fruit; not for me!

AP number 18 23. More fruit dominated than Feils or Schonfels on the nose but still plenty of stone and spice. Way too early.

Mixed red/black fruit, deeply dark and enticing nose with forest floor starting to emerge. Great acidic structure and grip; all in balance.
