Vintage 2019 | Great wine, an unusual and very spicy smell, awesome balance with everything in the right place: structured, acidity and spicy bitters. Paired with choucroute.

Never thought this was Pinot B. The nose is like a Gewürz. No score, not my cup of tea.

Vintage 2004 at brasserie Dock's in Anvers. Top class pinot blanc with beautiful minerals in the nose, excellent balance. #loveit to drink this! A real treat.

Nose from Normandie Crème fraîche, nice freshness and bitterness in a mouth

Honeyed and floral. Vanilla, saffron, mango and papaya on the palate. Still fairly fresh and mineral. Such a beautiful wine…

A lot better and fresher when compared to my previous bottle.
Almondpaste, iodine, saline minerality, yellow flowers. Also hints of resin, peaches, lemonpie, mushroom, baconfat and honeysuckle.
Wonderful!

Tegenwoordig met een spuuglelijk etiket. Inhoud zoals je mag verwachten; prima!

Hint of oxidation. Not as impressive as previous bottles. Still pretty remarkable, though.

Still beautiful.
Open for business, thick and generous. Warm and spicy, apricot-tangerine cobbler, tropical flowers, vanilla and saffron.
Terrific!
