September 14, 2018 - Still a nice golden colour - but already in the nose you fell that there is oxidation - the wine is still great - but compared to my last bottle - this one clearly is coming out weaker. I am therefore reducing my rating to 91. The palette is still apple and citrus and clearly minimality - but also a clear oxidation that is affecting the overall balance and my impression of the wine.

January 28, 2017 - Still golden colour - great acidity that is perfect integrated - and nice minerality - you get the feeling that this wine has gotten a lot of barrique in its young days. We are very impressed and are increasing the rating

July 23, 2016 - Served blind after a short decant. Nice richness, but less ripe fruit, more minerality, finesse and floral notes on the nose. Very clean and pure on the palate, again good fruit and some mineral notes, but somehow lacking power, intensity and length. 89-91

June 18, 2016 - Nice almost gold color - the nose is intriguing - impressive palette where you get apple and citrus - very nice minerality - you also sense some butter - medium plus acidity but still a good balance - where long powerful aftertaste. Very solid 92 was thinking about 93. The wine is clearly still drinking well.
