• SAND Likes this wine: 92 points

  July 18, 2023 - APPEARANCE: Medium dark amber / bronze colour. Quite saturated cork, broke halfway up. Some seepage on the top of the cork.
  NOSE: Shot caps gun smoke , apple juice, tinned clementine, almond, marzipan, paraffin, cloudberry. With time more and more orange and citrus notes (both fruit and marmalade) as well as lots of apricot. Also mineral, flinty notes. Keeps getting better and better. A wonderful nosing experience! (94p)
  TASTE: On the arrival orange water and rose water, orange marmalade. On the mid palate orange water, fresh and dried apricot, tinned clementine, orange marmalade, cured lemon. Medium bodied. A bit lighter in the middle of the taste curve but not near being hollow. Overall the concentration is quite impressive. (91p)
  FINISH: Bergamot flavoured tea, dried orange and lime peel. Medium long aftertaste. (89p)
  OVERALL: Started out in the 88-89 area. After 1-2 hours in the glass however it has really firmed up and started to shine and is now up there, in 92-93 points territory.
  TOTAL SCORE 92 points.
