On the palate: Citrus, red grapefruit, fudge and mineral. High acidity.

June 21, 2020 - Bone dry. Vi resonerar kring att det är lite svårt att greppa att det är BdB. Lite sluten inledningsvis. Den har fått lätta toner av våt ull, annars har en hög och markant, lite kartig syra överhanden. Efter tid i glaset kommer gröna äpplen med i ekvationen. Bra och intressant. Men är den prisvärd? Jag är inte så på säker det, men är samtidigt öppen för tanken att den har ett nytt liv om 5-8 år eller så.

January 4, 2020 - Dude. Incredible acidity and structural presence. With air, definitely got some toasted bread and oxidative notes but the acidity and mineral cut and structure is always there. So good.

again very great. FResh, not so much pear as usually, oak perfectly integrated. citrus cest and some roasted aromas but in the background. As always cracking acidity and refreshing salinity. Some gussed R.D. 2002, some Krug. At his peak. A good expression of the vintage 2010. 94 -
