  December 28, 2023 - ENGLISH:
  Nose: With a little time, the nose opens up from rather monotonous citrus notes to passion fruit, some grapefruit and vanilla, as well as coconut notes
  Taste: Present, lemon, green apple, you notice a clearer woody note from the start and vanilla/coconut shavings, not just in the finish or occasionally flashing, but from front to back, light nuts
  Finish: The most distinctive of the finishes so far, which is probably due to the barrel ageing, drier, more acidic than the others, citrus peel, a hint of mint, not complex, rather a short bang
  Comment: I have to say, of all the wines here on the entry-level Chardonnay tasting, it took the most time to really develop in the glass. Initially quite aggressive wood vs lemon impression, the finer notes only came out after 20-30 minutes and it became more balanced.
  
  ORIGINAL (GERMAN):
  Nose: Mit etwas Zeit öffnet sich die Nase von recht eintönigen Zitrusnoten zu Maracuja, etwas Grapefruit und Vanille, sowie Kokosnoten,
  Taste: Präsent, Zitrone, grüner Apfel, man merkt von Beginn an eine deutlichere Holznote und Vanille/Kokosraspeln, nicht nur im Finish oder mal aufblitzend, sondern von vorne bis hinten, helle Nüsse
  Finish: Der markanteste der Abgänge bisher, was wahrscheinlich an der Fasslagerung liegt, trockener, säuerlicher als die anderen, Zitrusschalen, ein Hauch Minze, nicht komplex, eher ein kurzer Knall
  Comment: Ich muss sagen, von allen Weinen hier hat er die meiste Zeit gebraucht, um sich wirklich zu entwickeln im Glas. Anfangs recht aggressiver Holz vs. Zitrone-Eindruck, kamen die feineren Noten erst nach 20-30 Minuten heraus und er wurde balancierter.

  March 1, 2022 - Alt for dominerende smag af Bourbon. Giver forjet sødme og manglende friskhed. Mer sjov end god

  May 14, 2021 - Oak and citrus nose. Melon and citrus are prominent with notes of saline, oak and vanilla followed by light citrus acidity and light tannin. Bourbon barrel appears as a butter caramel note but the finish is oaky.
