September 15, 2022 - This bottle was clearly not nearly as good as the previous tasters´ ones, although iit looked good with almost no ullage. In the nose old apples, cookies, and mushrooms taking over after a while. In the mouth some residual sugar - not too much -, burnt sugar, alcohol shining through, with bitter finish. Interesting in a way, but falling apart.

September 25, 2021 - Copper coloured, cork was in great condition and less than half soaked. Popped and poured straight from the wine fridge.
Nose of marmalade and honey on toast. The nose blind I would have guessed a Sauternes. Still had a great freshness with no petrol or stickiness.
High intensity acid with the taste reflecting the nose. Again had a Sauternes feel without the richness and sweetness. There is a little bit of rs but it's well kept in check with the acid. Finish was long, and kept me going back for more.
This was delicious, but I can't see it getting any better. I wish I had more, but was a great bottle as a once off. -

July 11, 2021 - Klar strågul, mot bronse.
Klassisk rieslingnese med skifer, petroleum, men mere aprikos og blomster. Veldig floral, noe som bringer meg mere i retning rieslaner/ pinot blanc. Initiellt lekker rieslingfrukt, kalk, petroleum, blomster. Mye blomster, som bringer meg mere i retning rieslnaser, men av høy kvalitet. Etterhvert pendlet vi oss inn mot alsace pga floralitet og oksidasjon. Lekker vin. -
