"Although described as dry, the rich, ripe apple flavors give it a semi-dry character. Rich, dense acidity, crisp, nutty and spicy, the wine is complex and will take its time. Drink from 2024." (Wine Enthusiast 2022)

About the wine:
Aromas of quince, lemon marmalade, toasted notes, hawthorn and Mexican orange blossom. Succulent, ripe fruit with a rustic touch, then a generous fruit opening. The acidity is long and intense, enveloped by a marzipan-like almond sweetness. [...] This is a wine of great depth of flavor.

Note and review by M. MATHIEU W. Published on 09/02/2024
Lichte goudgele kleur. Aan de neus rijp geel fruit, floraal, schoon linnengoed, hint rokerig / wierook, maar ook pudding. Complexe aroma's. In de mond een mollige aanzet van geel en tropisch fruit, gemiddelde zuurgraad, ook hier weer die vanillepudding. Verder veel materie, goede balans, complexiteit en overtuiging. In de relatief lange finale zorgen een bittertje en fijne zuren voor spanning en een filmend gevoel. Culinair goed inzetbaar. Score: 17/20
