Classic Jurancon tropical fruits - pineapple, mango, lychee, and the signature racy acidity. But lacks some sweetness, weight and perhaps some sophistication of other vintages of this particular cuvee. Having said all that, the whole makes it quite refreshing, so it may be a good partner to something like Foie Gras, perhaps.
It is, however, young, so a bit of age may round it off a little.

Blind tasting for my guests. Nose dominated by nail varnish and glue. Behind some pineapple. Mouth sweat fresh vivid but again some acetons a bit disturbing.Harvest has been well made but vinification more complicated... Not really flawed but there's a problem.

tiltalende og velduftende jurancon med tropiske frukter, kokos og fat. Litt i overkant fyldig, 14%, balanserer så vidt, litt bittersøt. Fatpreget ettersmak. Flott vin til prisen, men litt trekk for alkohol.

Blind tasting. Pop up an pour. First nose of fresh plastic, then nice raspberries, unripe pineapple and vanilla . Mouth fresh, vivid, "acidulée" and sweat : lots of energy on lemon juice, vanilla, a hint of coconut. An excellent lively sweat wine which finishes on mineral notes. The plastic is just a bit disturbing, it is enhanced by the high level of alcohol; so decanter it. It does match very well paned bananas with butter and ginger sugar.

Very good if a little simple.

Enjoyable bottle. Led by pineapple, but not overtly. Good sweet balance.
