Fruit with a flat, dry finish. Comparable taste. Better on the warmer side...matures a bit. Beauty straw color. Medium heavy thickness. Some legs. Drink it. It's got some funk. — 9 years ago

Has body but low on tannin. Bold yet still manages to be light. — 10 years ago
A gorgeous expression of the region, reminiscent of wild berries and alpine breeze. A nose of candied cherry and chamomile, evolving to clove and cinnamon. Palate is delicate, a subtle expression of fruity liveliness and fresh herbs, leaving you ponderous and refreshed. — 10 years ago

I see this wine paring well with cinnamon, even oysters, has a sour acidic finish. Clean ocean smell — 12 years ago
Dessert wine from Spain — 12 years ago
Mesmerizing nose, crazy complexity, salty caramel, gunpowder, grilled peach, sweet tobacco, matchstick, marzipan and - as my daughter added pretty aptly - a whiff of 'honingdrop' (traditional Dutch honey/licorice-flavoured candy).
On the palate, these nuances are slightly less articulate and clear, which keeps me from throwing in an 'extraordinary' score. Highly recommanded, though! — 9 years ago
