October 16, 2022 - Bordeaux 2012 (By SS in the Ertepeller.): Not very expressive or impressive bouquet, but there is some vanilla from the oak. Same on the palate, ok acidity and bitterness, but overall a bit disappointing.

May 25, 2022 - Deep gold colour. Citrus, peach and on the nose and palate with nutty and grassy notes. Nice richness with a good mouth feel. Good acidity, everything is well balanced. Drinking very well now.

July 22, 2019 - Toasted pine nuts and lemon curd. Seems like a fair amount of new oak was used, but this pairs well with grilled chicken.

May 19, 2018 - Peaches and vanilla oak, with a touch of herbs and beeswax on the nose. Substantial weight to the fruit, again white peaches, slightly oxidized. Nicely balanced acidity, with a fruity and oaky finish. This was a store bottle until a year ago, maybe a little oxidized from light and/or temperature? Still, i enjoyed it immensely.
