Love aromatics, orange marmalade and mild petrol, some exotic fruit and something herbal. The palate, however, does not show the same degree of complexity and comes off as lacking sharpness/acidity. It's good wine and I enjoyed it, but not great.

Wonderful. Aromatics that are startling in their purity, and at the same time are almost tense, with smoky slate-y savoy tones that after a few hours open basically overshadow the tropical tinged fruit. Real intensity and palate presence, so much so that it stains the palate and leaves a musky smoky scent in the nostrils. This wine is deeply complex and not at all yet fully unwound, and it is very lovely now - Imagine what 5 years will bring!

Old school noise, high sweetness and Saar-ish acidity level. Hold 5 year

lightly corked, unfortunately.
Nose was barely noticeably tainted, but was muted.
Enjoyable to drink, fresh and just sweet, but not very expressive.
