Toasted bread. Nice creamy mousse. Savory. Long. A lot of SO2. Got the party started.

Wow - this threw me off on initial taste - my novice palate assumed this had seen oak - but with a little more space and time with a fresh bottle suggested something with a little more brightness and citrus on the nose balanced with richness that never approached flabby. Day 2 gave me something like a Mosel Riesling Spätlese nose of citrus rind and oil matched on the palate by some viscosity. I almost sensed some Chenin Blanc beeswaxy essence and texture with honeyed floral notes. Mineral backbone, enough acid to carry its ripeness, and perhaps my only wish was a little more bubble to give some lift. I love acid but this was a joy to taste through!

Fint vin med alla underbara champagne-drag. Knallpulver, nektar och mineralsälta. Perfekt balanserad munkänsla. Hade den varit lite längre i syran hade poäng blivit högre. Mycket stabil och prisvärd.
