Vintage 2011 | When young this wine was tough and closed. Now it is open and friendly. Paired with spaghetti and cheeses. Did not develop extra layers or real depth. Very quaffable. — a day ago

Vintage 2011 | stinky smell, high bitters, flint, tight and stiff. I like the character. Need to taste more Rioja whites to be able to recognize if tasted blind. — 3 days ago

Vintage 2019 | unknown producer for me, but it stood out in a very diverse tasting with wines from all over the world. Rich smell with laurel, eucalyptus and each minute new layers, complexity. Well balanced, good acidity, it’s a severe Pomerol, because tasted blind I placed it on the left bank, like more tasters. WOTN — 3 days ago

Vintage 2020 | wine to match with carpaccio. It’s ultra light, my winefriends think it’s is a rosé because of the light colour. It’s also ultra soft in taste and has nice bitters. For lovers of light wines. Good effort from a Dutch vintner. We tasted blind. When people see Pinot blanc ánd barriques at the label they will for certain expect something different from what they get. — 3 days ago

Vintage 2009 | No score, perhaps an off bottle, perhaps simply too old. I thought a bit corked, wet cardboard impression. — 3 days ago

Vintage 2016 | cherry smell, high acidity. Paired with lamb tenderloins. Did not know that the qualification ‘auslese’ can be used for Spätburgunder reds… — 3 days ago
