  March 8, 2013 - Kelvin's Birthday Dinner (Park Palace, Grand Park Hotel): I was quite taken by this. It is not the most complete of white wines, but it was both well-made and interesting. For some reason, the nose just screamed "Italian white", with most of the table guessing the country correctly. It was super clay-ey and minerally and, with a good dose of salty, saline seashell aromas to go alongside, and than preserved citrus aromas of kumquats and lime zest. Lots going on here. The palate picked up those salty, saline notes from the get-go, with seashell tones on the attack folowed by lime and white fruit, then tropical manadrin orange and kumquat notes. There was a bit of alochol warmth that threw the wine's poise off a bit, but that aside, it was decently balanced, with a good touch of acidity undergirding its fleshy midpalate, and then an almost tannic grip at the ginger and spice infused finish. Again, it was not the greatest wine, but I found it very exciting, with lots of character. Great with food too.

  February 16, 2013 - For dominert av ny eik på dette stadiet, spesielt på nese, men ellers en stor og fyldig vin i chardonnay-land med god syre og lengde. Etter noen år burde dette gå seg fint til.
