Zweder Likes this wine: 91 points
October 22, 2023 - USA 2013 tasting by Sander (By SS @ De Ertepeller in Papendrecht): Expressive bouquet with butter and creamy impressions. Same on the palate, tasty and full bodied, some maturity and a firm dose of oak. Lacks a bit in refinement for a higher score.

January 29, 2022 - Interesting nose of caramel, oak, grapefruit and lemon. Light on the palate with good balance. Medium acidity. Nice finish. Great experience. Still going strong.

January 7, 2022 - Brown colour, fill 3 cm below cork, soaked cork fell into the bottle when I tried to pull it out.
Foul nose. Dreadful taste.
Dead. No score.
THis wine can be great, but there's considerable bottle variation. The producer is renowned for its late-release bottlings.
Well.... this was released WAY to late. -

August 25, 2021 - Understanding that there can be slight bottle variation due to age, this particular bottle was outstanding. Fresh, fragrant, precise.
