December 25, 2012 - Til kveite i Erfjord. Skivebom! Lukter av oksefett. 1 dag i åpen flaske: Søtt anslag smak av pors og stjernefrukt, svakt oksidert :-/

January 30, 2011 - Small Regions of France (Farpointe Cellar): Honey and cream infused on the nose, with hints of peach, flowers, and stone in the background. Slightly sweet on the palate, the minerals really shine, and mixes nicely with the peach, honey, and floral aromas.

January 30, 2011 - Sundays at One - Volume 1 - Small Regions of France: WIML91
Tasted non blind. Opened and served immediately.
Light yellow color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of apricot, sea foam, yellow pears and a bit of brown spice. Flavors of yellow pears, apricots and a dash of peach. Bright acidity, medium body. Drink or hold. No rush. Should last 10-15 years without batting an eyelash. -

December 25, 2010 - Relatively forward at 1st but once given some air, this is a terrici bottle. There's a striking minerality, flintiness both on the nose and palate. Plenty of mango, honey and apricot with spices. Full bod with definitely some RS but never heavy even if the acidity is not super high. This is really good.
