Rounder and more balanced than last time. Grape fruit, lemon cest, a bit of wax. Nice texture long aftertaste. Still feels like the little brother as compared to the superb 2009. Might improve further.

Not much has changed since I last tried this wine half a year ago. The wine is still really fresh and full of nuances. Citrus, mineral, bee-wax and some herbs. Very interesting and personal in a style that I drink way to seldom drink.

Following the fantastic 2009 bottling of this wine the expectations were very high. Indeed this is also a great wine with lots of complexity in both smell and taste that is quite similar to the 2009. Long taste and nice viscosity. However, at the moment the acidity is very very high. On day two the wine felt much more balanced and seemed to close in on 2009. I think I will save the remaining bottles for a year or so and try again. 89-91

Finally reaching full potential. Now similar to 2009 but with a bit more freshness and acidity. Wish I had more now....

Showed signs of oxidation. Yet there was plenty of wax there...
