  March 23, 2024 - Tasting Bas, Lennart en Maarten (Bas, Zeist): PnP, almost high intensity on the nose with a lot of (pleasant) reduction, fire crackers, fennel, tropical fruit (pineapple, mango), white peach, minerality, pine, a little lactic note, elegant use of oak. Medium+ acidity, long finish. 91-92
  
  Very elegant, gets better with air. Still going strong, no hurry to open up

  March 23, 2024 - Intensity high. Initially almost lacking fruit due to an overwhelming reductive character. White peach, mango, pine, lactic, cabbage. Acidity medium(+). Finish long.

  March 8, 2024 - Pale gold color. Drank glasses over 2 hours on day 1 and again 2 days later. Flint, reduction, lemon, lemon blossoms, brine. The palate is full of sour pulpy lemon, intense and pwerful, burnt barrels, briny, flint, dry extract, sharp river stones and a load of reduction. The reduction is somewhat tamed 48 hours after opening, but is still quite evident. While I enjoyed this, I found it quite distracting on day one, and starting to achieve balance after 2 days. I'll probably give the next one a couple years now.

  December 27, 2023 - Drinking well on pop n' pour and held up strong for 24+ hours. The house style reduction is there, but now nicely integrated with orchard fruit. Excellent refreshing acidity. In an early peak drinking window.

  April 21, 2023 - Pale yellow. Ripe chardonnay aromas exploded out of the bottle when I pulled the cork. Unanticipated concentration for a village-level wine, really palate-staining. The fruit is still primary and very intense, as is the acidity. I like this style of white burgundy, but it may be pushing the envelope for some people on the almost champagne-level of acidity. I think this has at least another 5 years of peak drinking.
