  Smoky nose with plenty of cedar and lemon notes. The oak is so upfront that it takes a while to reach the bright citrus flavours and the dairy allusions on its palate. Seven years after it was made the creamy texture and the mouth-watering acidity is still there but its opulence of yellow and stone fruit is now obviously gone.

  Delivers pure peach, pear tart and golden apple aromas along with dairy undertones and cedar. The oak is rather more apparent on the palate that shows a creamy texture easily lifted by bracing acidity. Long and caressing aftertaste. Bone dry.

  Bright straw colour with a youthful green hue. Pure and chalky nose with fresh pear, peach, hazelnut and floral hints with finely concealed oak in the background. Nicely firm and steely Chablis-like texture with fine layers of pale stone fruit, crushed nuts, gentle extract, a light touch of wood with a very long and chalky finish. Pure and stylish. by ANDREAS LARSSON : 92 points

  Tasted as part of the 2016 Şarap Tutkunları Tasting in İzmir where I was invited as a guest along with Yiannis Karakasis MW, Tuğba Altınöz WSETDIP, Murat Yankı and Serdar Balkaya. The tasting panel included Dilek Caner MW, İsa Bal MS and Ayhan Güleyen. The following tasting note and the relevant score belongs to me only.
  Gold. Lovely pear and cantaloupe mixed with vanilla and undertones of vanilla and cedar. Long, very well defined and persistent.

  Chamlija - Thracian 2014 Blanc -
  
  Youthful colour here, pale straw with a green tinge. The nose is youthful as well. Displaying good purity here with barely ripe fruit. It feels more like a cool climate restrained style with a lemon zest, lime, barely ripe melon and pear. Slight hint of herbs with chopped almond. Medium weight on the palate, but good gripe here with a refreshing acidity, zesty notes, youthful fruit. Still a bit tight in the positive sense, but it should have time to develop over the coming years. Nice mineral notion. Much more cool and restrained style, I would say, in the direction of Chablis. Quite a long and lingering finish. Good drinkability now but should certainly develop quite well.
