Starts off with notes of salty caramel, rye toast and herbs. Then some shy pear. On the palate quite rich, again with caramel notes but also nice yellow pears. Nicely balanced with juicy acidity and a fresh finish. Not bad. — 2 days ago

9.2

Nice aromatic, slightly evolved nose with ripe damson plum, a bit of kirsch and a touch of sundried herbs. Plus some roasted pepper and a hint of leather. On the palate quite suave, with nicely evolved but still gripping tannins. Juicy acidity and great balance. This is probably peaking and a great pleasure right now. — 19 days ago

9.1

Quite weighty for a Alvarinho, with white peach and herbs and loads of salt plus a nice chalky texture. Great electric acidity and a long finish. This has nice precision & character. — a month ago

9.0

An uplifting, aetheric nose full of crunchy dark cherry and damson plum, with a whiff of tobacco leaf and a touch of cedar wood. On the palate quite light, with juicy acidity and nicely polished, ripe tannins. Thankfully not spoiled by clumsy wood aging. Quite elegant yet highly drinkable & delightful.
V. nice discovery. — a month ago

9.1

Very inviting nose with ripe prunes and blackberries, a touch of cassis and a hint of spices with cedar wood, pepper & cinnamon. On the palate quite sleek & cool with fine, filigrane structure. Polished tannins, juicy acidity, a sense of authenticity concreted by the tart plum fruit and earthy undertones. This is a delicious blend (Zw, Bf, Me) and excellent value for money. — 14 days ago

8.8

Quite dense & full of flavour with dark berries & ripe tomato + a saline touch. On the ripe & strong side, but worked quite well with a fillet & rösti. — 23 days ago

8.9

A benchmark of a good Soave - not much fruit, just a hint of pear and hay - but very nice textured mouthfeel, broad, self assured with great mineralogy and nice acidity balancing everything out. A saline, spicy finish, too. Great food wine. — a month ago

8.5

Currently dominated by the barrel aging with salted cashews and caramel notes dominating with a hint of reduction on top. On the palate quite broad & creamy, pierced by juicy, mineral acidity. Only here a bit of geeen apple & pear emerges.
Maybe this is going through a comb phase now but I miss the purity of PB and the structure it usually has. This is still a very good wine, yet falls short. — 15 days ago

Entry level but such delicious stuff! Ripe apple & peach paired with tart lemon. This pure, nicely poised and balanced. Simply delicious. — a month ago

9.0

Very fresh & quite herby, with great purity of fruit (plums, blueberries) but also some nice earthy and tobacco & vegetal notes. Polished tannins and nice balance with freshness and a wide huff of menthol adding lightness to the ripeness. This is quite modern but also authentic and very drinkable. A nice wine. — a month ago
