Quite lactatic at first, going into a refined bitterness (reminiscent of grapefruit), with a long lingering finish where mandarin, basil and apple comes in. Very lively acidity still, and a quite unique style of wine. Not entirely to my liking but nevertheless without any apparent flaws.

Glue, wax, some funky complex notes, hay, well-balanced, slight sour notes, but needs food. Not the best Pepe Trebbiano I've had. With Kat at Il Sorpasso.

Initially very funky on the nose, with time some wore off and a more balanced amount lasted. Taste of ripe apples, oxidative. A bit of an orange feel except with less tannins.

The wine shows a bit of hazyness, medium intense, yellow color.
Youthful nose with medium intense aromas. Initially there is lots of reductive and funky notes. Combined with a lot of ripe apples this makes me think of Normandy cider. Given half an hour in the glass the reductive notes disperses and leaves a basket of citrus fruit, aromatic spices, hay and a touch of green grass behind.
Very dry, with a medium+ acidity, light tartness, medium bodied with a bit of a fat and oily texture. Medium+ intensity and a medium+ finish.
Brilliant wine! Looking forward to compare this with the 2009 that I bought at the same time. Will probably keep for another decade.

Animalisk på näsan, krut och mineral. Bra nu och ännu större potential.
