December 25, 2023 - Medel gyllengult. Halvfeta gardiner (14 procent).
Citronskal, honung, passionsfrukt, citromeliss, våt gråsten och kalk.
Vaxig fyllighet, medelsyra. Citrusskal, citron, grapefrukt, limeskal, passionsfrukt, honung. Lång eftersmak med viss bitterhet. Läskande trots fylligheten. Kul! -

May 29, 2022 - Really nice with soft fruit profile of citrus and mango. Seems to be entering an ideal drinking window.

May 13, 2022 - Wine lunch at Bocca di Lupo. This was a disappointment for some around the table. Intense smoky, subtly nutty oxidative nose, not unpleasant but you have to like that sort of thing. Quite linear on the palate, with the sauvignon profile basically gone. More lively than the '06 Beaucastel tasted alongside due to higher acidity, and good length with some citrus, perhaps even preserved lemon, and fino sherry character lingering on the palate. I liked it, but it might have been better a few years ago. Did not deteriorate over the next two days.
