  Gyllengul med grønnskjær. Intens, kraftig duft av moden sitrus, grønne epler, flint, et snev av smørmalt. Smaken er rik, fyldig, småfet med en herlig mineralitet, godt integrert eik, moden varm gul frukt. Stor munnfølelse, man kunne gått blindt til burgund - chassagne montrachet kanskje? Medium syre, veldig lang smakskurve med lett krydrete toner i avslutningen. Nydelig vin! 90 +

  Opened and served. Light oxidative and we are not sure if this is by design or just the ageing of the bottle.. Glad to see it not that heavily oaked, good acidity shining through the vail of the oak. Good mineral feel but lacked a bit of energy and vitality that we usually see in their unoaked wines which we have to say we prefer. 87-88

  Medium goldish color. A bit shy in the nose initially which opens up with some swirls; scents of citrus, tangerine and some vanilla nuances coming out as well. Medium+ body, a tad buttery in the mid palate with good acidity, appetizing with lovely minerals and the oak coming into the fore towards the medium+ end. Thats a good wine, probably the best of their whole line up (with the exception of a marvelous Mavrotragano that is not in the market yet). 91-92
