  November 21, 2021 - Botrytis driving exotic spice notes. Unexpected intensity of dried apricot and mango. Deep and persistent, stone in finish lingers. Is this wine immortal? It’s on all cylinders and think it will be for some time. Give this some air (at least 45-60 minutes) and let it warm some to show just how much is going on here.

  October 21, 2021 - Outstanding wine. Remarkable nose-lots of tropical fruit and a little funk that I couldn't identify. Palate was equally good: perfectly-balanced acidity, more of the tropical fruit- banana, coconut, pineapple- with some citrus. Pleasantly sweet could easily drink multiple glasses without it being overwhelming.

  June 22, 2021 - Dinner at AOC pop-up Tivoli (CPH): Deep gold. Really dominated by dried apricot. In my opinion not a complex wine, but nevertheless an excellent wine. The only problem: It was a disaster to the dish

  June 4, 2021 - Golden w. orange hue. Intense sweet and spicy nose w. apricot and cake. A sweet wine, med acidity, somewhat slender profile (not too heavy). Sweet liquorice w. fruit confit. Refined and elegant.

  April 25, 2021 - Marmalade, apricot, beeswax, maybe even some mango in there. This was nice right out of the gate. The acidity balances out the sweetness just right. Excellent.
