  Tasting Bas, Lennart en Maarten (Bas, Zeist): PnP, almost high intensity on the nose with a lot of (pleasant) reduction, fire crackers, fennel, tropical fruit (pineapple, mango), white peach, minerality, pine, a little lactic note, elegant use of oak. Medium+ acidity, long finish. 91-92
  
  Very elegant, gets better with air. Still going strong, no hurry to open up

  Intensity high. Initially almost lacking fruit due to an overwhelming reductive character. White peach, mango, pine, lactic, cabbage. Acidity medium(+). Finish long.

  Pale gold color. Drank glasses over 2 hours on day 1 and again 2 days later. Flint, reduction, lemon, lemon blossoms, brine. The palate is full of sour pulpy lemon, intense and pwerful, burnt barrels, briny, flint, dry extract, sharp river stones and a load of reduction. The reduction is somewhat tamed 48 hours after opening, but is still quite evident. While I enjoyed this, I found it quite distracting on day one, and starting to achieve balance after 2 days. I'll probably give the next one a couple years now.

  Drinking well on pop n' pour and held up strong for 24+ hours. The house style reduction is there, but now nicely integrated with orchard fruit. Excellent refreshing acidity. In an early peak drinking window.

  Pale yellow. Ripe chardonnay aromas exploded out of the bottle when I pulled the cork. Unanticipated concentration for a village-level wine, really palate-staining. The fruit is still primary and very intense, as is the acidity. I like this style of white burgundy, but it may be pushing the envelope for some people on the almost champagne-level of acidity. I think this has at least another 5 years of peak drinking.
