2/9/2024 - magyarsvensk Likes this wine: NRSvelte, mineral and vergeresque, mostly on white peaches. Presents like a white wine with just a hint of sour red fruit on the palate. Nice long finish, but I feel like this is a bit tight and needs a few more years. |

2/8/2024 - magyarsvensk Likes this wine: 93 pointsElegant, phenolic and citrusy with lemon juice and zest, petrol and apricots. There is some perfume on the nose, which shows promise for the future, but at the moment, this is quite tight. |
