March 31, 2023 - Sitron, sitronblader, strå, honning, nøtter. Ren pen i munnen med sitron, grønne epler, strå, honning, noe ananas, nøtter. Pent sammensatt, konsentrert, strukturert med bra lengde. Begynnende modning med hint av tørket frukt, men fremdeles primær. Meget bra lengde.

January 9, 2023 - (Verkostet im Oktober 2022 auf Château Olivier) Mittleres Goldgelb. Reiffruchtige Nase, Mango, Butter-Kekse, Gebäck. Im Gaumen rund und weich, saftige Frucht, cremig, rund und doch mit viel Frische, der Wein hat Druck, Konzentration und doch Eleganz, nicht zum Aperitif, eher zu Käse, Hummer oder einem Fisch in cremiger Sauce. Ein ausgezeichnet gereifter Wein mit noch guten Reserven. 92 vvPunkte www.vvwine.ch

October 10, 2022 - The wine looks light gold colored. The legs are medium. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like grapefruit, lime and honeydew. It tastes like grapefruit, lime and honeydew. The body is medium. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.

September 20, 2022 - Slightly hay-like, unclean nose, nuts and mushrooms. Pretty palate, though, more mature than you'd think for a 10 year old. Butterscotch, stone fruit palate. Short finish. At the chateau.

March 1, 2022 - Last bottle. Still a little richness, nice SB flavours and clean finish. Relaxing and a good food wine. Drink over the next couple of years.
