Tropical Fruit, Dried Spices, Cardamom
Light golden colour, light towards medium golden colour, some intensity here. And speaking about intensity even more on the nose here. Let’s say very recognizable style in its lush, tropical fruit and intense spiciness. There are a lot of dried spices there, particularly cardamom, pepper, vanilla. Then we have some of those floral, rose petal notes and lush yellow fruit, like apricot, yellow plum, tons of honey. Good balance on the palate, I think this variety can be a bit overwhelming sometimes, but I think here we could have a good balance of that lush tropical fruit. Rather a mellow acidity, but we still get a good sensation of freshness on the finish, thanks to the dried spices giving a lift. I also think the alcohol is well in balanced. So really pleasurable wine offering a generous amount of fruit. Quite long persistence as well. Good drinkability today. A wine that will continue to develop easily depending on what style of wine you like, but drinks pretty well right now.

Yellow Stone Fruit, Minerality, Freshness
A certain evolution here in terms of colour, light golden, but yet with a good brightness. Intense nose, displaying some evolution. There is actually some of those smoky mineral notes, so a hint of smokiness, toastiness, with layers of ripe, ripe pear, ripe citrus, some stone fruits. There is a certain evolution to this, a slight spiciness but yet with a good sense of freshness and vibrant fruit. Good bite on the palate. Quite a mouth filling actually, but yet with a very narrow and slim body, marked by a really wide breadth of freshness, it is really salivating. I would say a quite classical style of bone dry Riesling with some evolution. Salivating with a good length, and a quite slim-like body yet with a good flavor intensity. Combining that yellow stone fruit, with that stoniness and minerality. So a wine with a very good drinkability today.

Yellow Plum, Hint of Honey, Lush Texture
White wine with a certain intensity there, like light golden. Rich and expressive nose. Really open, there is, I suppose a hint of maturity there. Not very, very young, and really attractive fruit, like particularly stone fruit, like yellow plum, Mirabelle. There is some yellow apple and pear, so quite sweet, quite ripe fruit. No indication of oak and a slight hint of wax or honey, something indicating sweetness. Palate has a nice roundness. It is quite lushes in terms of texture. Rounded with a slight hint or feeling of sweetness, I would say. It is fairly on the dry side and quite a mellow acidity. So it gives a slightly rounder and opulent expression on the palate. But well balanced with really enjoyable fruit and a quite long and anxious finish.

Raspberry, Roasted Notes, Meaty Spices
Red wine with a quite light colour intensity here. It looks like it has gotten some evolution as it is fairly rusty on the rim, more towards orange, tawny whatever. Pure nose, also showing evolution. This one has some aged complexity as it is mixing spiciness with meatiness and not only primary fruits. There is some slightly smoky almost like dried meat or smoked meat. Then we have some pepperiness and spiciness. The fruit feels quite ripe and quite sweet almost like a hint of confiture, like raspberry, red berry fruit. The palate has medium weight, still with a tannic grip. It is not dominated by fruit really it is more on the meaty spicy side, with that sweet slightly dried fruit now. With some notes of prune, dried berries. Still with a high acidity. There is not really a lot of oak noticeable there are some roasted smoky notes, but that might come from more evolution or ageing in bottle as I expect this has a few years to it. Quite long finish. An example I would say is ready to drink now as it has a certain evolution. Yeah, I would say drink now. I don’t think this one will gain a lot more from further aging.

Yellow Fruit, Mouthwatering, Floral Notes
Light golden colour here, still with a slight green hue, good brightness. Quite intense aromas here. Rather layered here, mixing ripe stone fruit, with some floral notes; white flower, peach, apricot, ripe lemon, with a certain stoniness, some chalky notes. Good mouthfeel here, quite broad and lushes, riper style, yet quite dry. A few grams of sugar, but that is something I think that is this style of Riesling you do not really perceive it as sweet, just contributes to that lushes, ripe fruitiness. Well balanced acidity. Nice mouthwatering, particularly on the finish which is long lasting, with elegant yellow fruit. Well balanced, there is a certain evolution here. Very good drinkability now, I would say, but with the potential to go on for many years, which is the great virtue of Riesling, which I presume it is.
