Mineral, shimmering, pure aromas. Orange marmalade, honey, cream, white flowers. Subtle, understated and elegant. Medium bodied on the palate, great acid and intensity, a touch of balancing sugar, very long and refined. Wow, that's good. Electric! Not a bruiser. Not thick, bitter or heavy. Though, it is intense. Some smoke and herbal notes emerge with time. Will improve in bottle. Good for 10 years, maybe more. This softened over two hours, showing more of a sec-tendre style, but that intensity is still there. Great with a Thai pork salad.

A private dinner (Restaurant Daalder, Amsterdam, NL): Spicy nose, fresh yellow apple, crisp but rounded palate, chamomile, pure and aerien, hint of elderflower, well balanced, subtle bitters, good length.
