November 5, 2023 - Kleur: Fluwelig lichtrood. Aroma / bouquet: Eerste, veel te vroege, indruk van een serieus jonge wijn. Vineus, aangenaam aroma. In alles Rhône, in nog niets Ch9dP. Smaak / Afdronk: Mondvullende, aangename jonge wijn. Prettige friszure start, ook in dit jonge stadium aangenaam zachte tannines. Ook in de mond zijn de aroma's nauwelijks concreter te beschrijven dan vineus en aangenaam. Algemeen / potentieel: In deze fase een gemakkelijk en aangenaam drinkbare Rhônewijn, ik twijfel aan het ontwikkelingspotentieel. Te weinig zuren, te weinig tannines. Voorlopig zet ik in op een beperkt ontwikkelingspotentieel tot maximaal 2030. 50 + Kleur: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 11 + Smaak / Afdronk: 14 + Algemeen / potentieel: 8 = 88/100
Colour: Velvety light red. Aroma / bouquet: First, much too early, impression of a seriously young wine. Vinous, pleasant aroma. Rhône in everything, Ch9dP in nothing. Taste / Aftertaste: Mouth-filling, pleasant young wine. Pleasant fresh and sour start, pleasantly soft tannins, even in this young stage. Also in the mouth the aromas can hardly be described more concretely than vinous and pleasant. General / potential: An easy and pleasantly drinkable Rhône wine at this stage, I doubt its development potential. Too few acids, too few tannins. For the time being, I am committed to a limited development potential until a maximum of 2030. 50 + Color: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 11 + Taste / Aftertaste: 14 + General / potential: 8 = 88/100
