Very sweet ripe raspberries on the nose. The sweetness comes through on the palate as well with ripe red fruits, prunes and raisins. Quite special in its own way.

Smells like candy floss or nougat. Don't seem to get much red fruit on it, but it has a unique taste of its own which I can't quite identify with. Some greenness on the back palate. Classy yet mysterious.

Non-expressive nose, a hint of rustiness. Green apples coupled with unripened red fruits. Doesn't have a finish that lasts.

Ginseng root, herby and vegetal nose. Also on the palate, a lot of vegetal notes, green apples, roots, bitter herbal medicine finish. Somehow I'm attracted to this , like it was deliberately made to this way. The finish feels like after eating an apple.

Perfume and dried raspberry nose, luscious red fruit, I can feel a lot of perfume and flowers, balance of sweetness of fruit and alcohol and structured so elegantly. Finishes strongly for me. Feminine on the start but packs a punch on the finish. A girl with a bite. Very lovely.

Lovely nose with olives, flowers. Oh the palate also grips u. Blueberries along with cherries and some sappy notes. So elegant, so tasty, so fruity like a fruitips sweet. Finishes so well and I jus can't stop sipping! So beautiful.

Nose like cherry liquer and tinge of raisins. Rich ripe sweet fruit, a very direct wine and one dimensional. But still a good wine with a good finish to it.

A mushroom, toasty nose with a musky feel. Rich flavours of red fruit along with candy, smooth and elegant and very seductive in its sweetness. Very nice.

A sweaty nose with figs and green herb. Sour cherries, green apples, strawberries, feels like tomato soup on the finish. A unique pinot I would say.

Interesting nose that smells like cheese and smoked ham. Fruits are not so rich and ripe, and found it somewhat a little thin. Well made no doubt, smooth and gentle on the palate. Exquisite yet find it lacking depth.

Not so expressive nose, some elegant acidity, coolness on the back palate, doesn't give much fruit flavours but more alcohol. More power than elegance.

Green leafy notes on the nose. Elegantly fresh red fruit, raspberries, tasty and juicy. Long finish that lingers in the mouth.

Not very expressive nose, some heat, and alcohol that masks the fruit. Enjoyable and easy a wine it is to drink, for me it seems to lack depth, easy to understand and doesnt invoke thought as it slips down.

Elegant nose of cherry liquer.
Cherries and some candy melded together. Very rich ripe fruits lingering on the finish. Some green apple notes as well, very beautiful wine.
