    April 6, 2024 - First bottle since 2021. This bottle is also showing very well with a clean nose of lychee, pear and citrus. On the palate good energy and an almost pearly mouthfeel. Just a hint of smoke (lapsang tea) and granite pebbles. medium+ lenght.

    August 19, 2021 - Compared to previous bottles this is on a completely different level. Puré fruit with lemon, apples and unripe pears, stearins acidity an a lovely minerality with chalk, rubber and petrol.

    April 1, 2021 - So incredibly tasty. Well balanced. Solid acidity. Peaches and cream. Honey. Really easy to drink but at the same time, some serious depth and complexion. 22+ years old and still as fresh as ever.

    October 19, 2019 - Had two bottles of this (halves). One flawed and the other a bit flabby without the cut, energy or complexity I was hoping for. Still good but nonetheless a dissapointment.

    January 1, 2018 - Consistent notes. This is so easy to drink that you forget it is a sophomore in college with serious pedigree and character. Orchard fruit, honeyed notes. Terrific acidity. Just lovely.
