vintage 2009 | Each time this wine surprises me because of its youth, no colour change what so ever after 17 years. Tropical fruits, honey, balanced by tremendous acidity. Such a gem and a treat to drink. At family weekend in De Betuwe.

Absurdly delicious. I've never been to Bora Bora, but this is what I assume it smells and tastes like. Peach pastille, mango, guava, coconut, orchard fruit, and tropical flowers, with just a tinge of petrol in the air. Stunning.

Sulfur a bit too prevent for me, but beyond that, massive peach, kerosine, apricot, apple spice, med + acidity and a long finish. Off-dry.
