Slightly oxidative nose. Loads of sweet fruit. It does have a 'liquor' like nose which was a bit too strong for me. Good acid backbone. Overall enjoyable.

A private lunch (Restaurant 212 **, Amsterdam, NL): A blend of 2/3 grape juice and 1/3 vieux Marc aged in barrique for two years. Multi-vintage: 58% 2016, 24% 2014, 12% 2013, 6% 2011. Bottled 9 November 2019, 18% ABV. Marvellously rich and honeyed, fresh and juicy, nutty, delightful yeasty intensity, delicately sweet, peppery finish, very good resonance and length.

Well, this was impossible to place blind. Delicious stuff though! Smells like a dry sherry with salt, nuts and hints of pine. On the palate surprisingly sweet and very intense. Spice, light wood, sweet fruit, nuts.

One of the better macvin I've had. Though I always find a very strong crushed vitamin note on the nose. Nice balance, body and finish.
