May 18, 2015 - Vinosphere Tasting: Really aromatic with apricot, musk, some herb as well adding complexity. Mild palate with moderate sweetness and that herbal edge to it. Odd but interesting.
February 21, 2015 - To Kalon Night at Collyer Catering (Collyer Catering): Tough to taste this last since it's always a little hard to judge at the end of a lineup. Still a very young wine with a nice nose of honey, tropical fruit and flowers. More of the same on the palate but with some tangerine mixed in. This had a shade more complexity than the Le Mayne in my opinion but this could really come down to which style do you prefer.
April 10, 2014 - Helping a friend with a north-east Italian Wine List; 4/3/2014-4/10/2014 (TBD): I think this is my Kracher since Alois passed away. Golden in color. The nose is odd with some tropical notes and banana. Mildly sweet. Innocuous at best. Lacks acidity.
October 5, 2013 - The wine is clear and bright with a medium lemon colour and presence of legs. The nose is clean and developing, showing medium intensity aromas of pineapple, lime, pear, white flowers and honey. It's medium-sweet in the mouth, with a medium+ lively acidity, medium alcohol, medium+ body and medium+ intensity flavours of pineapple, lime, white flowers and honey. The finish is of medium length. It's a good quality wine, with some sweetness but not cloying, the sugar is well balanced by the acidity and with a decent concentration of flavours in the mouth. However it lacks aromatic complexity, the nose is too simple, and it needs more length. Can drink now, but it has potential to develop a bit more of complexity in the next 4-6 years, and could be kept for another 3-4 years more.
September 12, 2013 - Good on first pour but nothing special over the ~6 weeks of periodic afterward. Pear and green grape with some lemon and cream.
June 28, 2013 - Sweet wine best suited for desserts. Deep yellow colour, sweet, fresh taste.
June 23, 2012 - A private lunch (Librije's Zusje **, Zwolle, Netherlands): Weissburgunder & Chardonnay, 12%. Sweet pear fruit, no botrytis; medium-sweet, nice acidity, herbal touches, decent length. Nice sweet wine but nothing special.
