July 7, 2021 - Started fresh zesty limey, then evolved into a more rounded and rich stew of apricots and peaches, finally became toasted pineapples. Superb but could be a little longer.

July 2, 2021 - Way better than the previous bottle yet nothing to dream about. What it had was a wonderful ocean feel - minerals, oyster shells. Mature for sure yet maintaining verve and acidity. Some oak notes. Complex interesting and a nice surprise compared to previous bottles. (92)

October 20, 2019 - Way better then the previous bottle. Great acidity, with Meyer lemons and some mineral notes. Gained some weight along the way. Most enjoyable.

August 21, 2019 - Raveneau, Zind Humbrecht etc - Wine tasting dinner (Erik Sørensen, Søllerød Kro): Beginning premox or just too old. Heavy caramel. However not completely dead.

July 18, 2019 - this needs loads of air. Decanted for 4 hours. And the wine still needs time after that. Not the best vintage. Starts of quite bitter, quinine. Complexity is there but some what unbalanced. Comes together with time. Apple, minerality, lemon and seabreze. Complexity picks up. Interesting bottle but doesn’t really live up to its price point. Might need a little more time.
