  2/11/2013 - Thomas D. Likes this wine: 90 Points

  Good wine, I hope the 1st Cru is even better.
  This is my last bottle (after the one yesterday was gone I killed the last two - afraid of more bad surprises).
  Bee wax, dried orange skin, a very balanced nose.
  Nice acid when you drink it, balanced and complex with oil color nuances, wax again, alcohol, long finish.
  Would buy bottles again. Very close to 90. In fact, after some thoughts, it is a 90+ :) (first rated with 89)

  A small scandal :-(
  Aging notes, sherry, smell with nuances of foul/aged apples, acid balance not so perfect any more, what a pitty! Let's see how the next bottle tastes.
  The wine has been bought by a wine trader directly at the vinyard, and I bought it some weeks later and kept it all the time in my climated wine fridge at exactly 11 grades celsius.
  Second bottle is a pleasure, so I have to give this bottle a "flawed" instead of 82...
